Will Paris attractions be closed/limited in February?

I know in some places museums, sites, etc. close or limit their hours in the less-touristy months - is this something we would have to worry about in Paris in February?

Dear Mas,

Paris does not close down any time of year.

What ira said.

In spring summer and fall, some venues extend their closing hours by an hour or so, but the city is certainly completely open for business the rest of the year.

click on Destinations above for standard opening and closing hours, or the individual venue websites.

I have been to Paris in February and March and found there were a few things I wanted to do that were unavailable. The batobus does not run year round. Giverny is not open for a day trip. The gardens at Versailles are bare.

There are, however, some wintery compensations. The ice skating rink is open in front of the Hotel de Ville. The cultural season is in full swing, plenty of concerts, ballets, operas.

Thanks for the info - I just booked our trip and we're so excited!! Seven nights at the Paris Hotel Jardin de l'Odeon in February. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions in the coming months.
