Paris Fashion Week: which hotel should you choose to experience fashion week?

From 28 September to 6 October 2026, Paris Fashion Week® will present the Womenswear Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2027 collections. For nine days, fashion extends far beyond the runway, spilling into museums, department stores, restaurants and the streets of Paris.

In the middle of all this energy, choosing a hotel is about more than finding somewhere to sleep. You need a base: somewhere central enough to make moving around the city simple, comfortable enough for a pause between appointments and welcoming enough to feel like home when Paris is moving at full speed.

In the heart of the 9th arrondissement, Maison Mère offers exactly that balance.

Free museums in Paris: what to visit during European Heritage Days 2026

In September, Paris gradually shifts into a different gear. The light takes on a golden hue, the outdoor cafés regain a sense of calm after the summer, and, for the duration of a weekend, certain doors that are usually off-limits open to the public.

On Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026, the European Heritage Days return for their 43rd edition. Museums, monuments, institutions and venues that are sometimes usually closed invite visitors to see Paris in a different light, through unusual tours, encounters and special openings.

For those looking for free museums in Paris, this is therefore one of the most interesting weekends of the year. But rather than rushing from one arrondissement to another, why not choose a few places, take a stroll between visits and make time to enjoy the city?

From Maison Mère, our lifestyle hub nestled in the 9th arrondissement, we’ve put together a few ideas to help you plan a cultural weekend at your own pace.
