From June 2, the Nave transforms into a vast contemporary stage as the Summer season Grand Palais d’été returns for its second ambitious, multidisciplinary season, celebrating creativity in all its forms!
Theatre, dance, concerts, performances: for two months, the Grand Palais becomes a space for shared experiences, discoveries, and major celebrations. French and international artists take over the Nave with brand-new works and shows reinvented especially for this unique setting.
After certain shows, the After Nef partys continue the experience under the glass roof: concerts, DJ sets, and musical carte blanche sessions extend the energy of the performances in a festive atmosphere.
The magic continues with Ciels, a luminous large-scale work by the Visual System collective which sublimates the Grand Palais glass roof through a monumental, immersive visual creation that engages with the building’s structure and plays with color and light intensity. A spectacle to experience every evening, especially following the After Nef events, made possible hanks to the patronage of the ENGIE Foundation.
New this year: Saturday mornings open up to dance with free Grand Mouvement workshops. Alongside guest artists, you take part in a shared momentum carried by the energy of the season.
Several highlights are part of the Saison Méditerranée 2026, celebrating artistic and cultural dialogues that cross territories and the imaginations of both shores.
Plural, accessible and resolutely lively, the Grand Palais d'été summer season once again invites you to experience art differently, in the heart of Paris.
