LEVELS -1, 1 and 2

Every 30 minutes starting at the “Short Tours” meeting points

Explore the exhibitions in the company of expert guides.
Find out about the life of American abstract painter and sculptor Ellsworth Kelly, then learn more about the emblematic work of Henri Matisse, “The Red Studio” and the art within it, which has been brought together for the first time in France since the works left the artist’s studio in Issy-les-Moulineaux. 

CENTRAL TERRACE

Before or after visiting the exhibitions, try out the collage technique, just like Henri Matisse. Illustrator Mélanie Alpach has picked out a range of shapes from the artists’ worlds that you can combine, cut and put together to create your own interpretation of the artists’ works. 

WEST TERRACE

Splitting her time between Paris and Brussels, EG is one of the big names in the French house-music scene. Finding inspiration in jazz, disco and hip-hop sounds, EG explores and conveys her music through a hybrid of digital and vinyl techniques. Her unique sets that mix deep, soulful, progressive and hip-house sounds, captivate crowds in the biggest European clubs.

Archie Fairhurst (his real name) is an extremely talented and imaginative Londoner who finds inspiration from blues and jazz music, bringing electronic beats and a rhythmic groove to the mix, and giving his productions a psychedelic disco vibe. But he is best known for his influence on traditional Irish folk music, a love passed down to him by his father, which gives his tracks an electrifying feel, an emotional edge but one that drives listeners onto the dancefloor. 

WEST TERRACE

A menu of sun-kissed dishes to celebrate the Late Hours out on the terrace. Nanina, a Paris-based producer of mozzarella di Buffala, suggests taking a trip to Naples with panzanella, a courgette salad, a focaccia and polpette sandwich, and her famous tiramisu for dessert. At the bar, La Cantine du marché serves the iconic Italian bellini alongside a local artisanal blond beer, organic fruit juices and lemonades.
