Festival d'Automne à Paris

Since 1972, the Festival d'Automne has been supporting artists by producing and presenting their work, guided by a spirit of loyalty, openness and discovery. Multidisciplinary and international, the Festival is a major contributor to artistic creation in France and around the world, with more than 80 events each year at some 60 venues in Paris and the surrounding area. The event brings together over 200,000 people from September to December.

For its 2025 edition, the Festival d'Automne promises singular artistic trajectories, numerous world premieres and eclectic courses that bring together French and international artists. Two major portraits will mark the season: one devoted to French choreographer François Chaignaud, supported by Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels, and the other to the American ensemble JACK Quartet. Choreographic creation will once again be central to this edition, with invitations extended to chroeographers such as Nacera Belaza—to whom the Festival is giving a spotlight for an original piece at the Louvre—Christian Rizzo, Faustin Linyekula & Franck Moka and Faye Driscoll, made possible thanks to the support of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.

This year, the Festival d'Automne is strengthening its community engagements, notably by offering students and young spectators more accessible prices. Tailored courses, meet-ups and artistic workshops have also been designed for Public Assistance – Hospitals of Paris (AP-HP) caregivers and patients as well as for associations engaged in social advocacy.
