I will be in Paris on the first Saturday of October. I am under the impression that this is when the all night artsy festival, Nuit blanche, takes place. I haven't been able to find very much information about it online or other wise . I was hoping maybe someone who has gone in previous years or knows more about it could give me some information.
thank you

Info is on Mairie de Paris site

It is usually based in 4 or 5 areas of Paris, but they do not appear to have been revealed yet.

I will also be there and I understand that many museums will be open late as well. having trouble finding out which ones. the website link above didn't have a program. i'm planning on wandering that evening.

The Nuit Blanche is a completely different event from Museum Night.

It looks like the main area this year is going to be the 9th, 17th and 18th arrondissements. Metro line 12 will be open all night north of Madeleine, and line 14 will operate all night as well.
