As summer comes to an end, we are reminded that fall in Paris is filled with excitement. Cooler weather, the Parisians are rested, Fashion Week and art…a lot of art! Here are our top choices of art exhibits for the rest of 2012. One a month, from September to December. Plan your trip now!

If you are a fashionista, you are crazy to come to Paris and not see the Louis Vuitton/Marc Jacobs exhibit. Take note: It ends on October 4th (just as Fashion Week closes). You are bound to see Paris’ finest ladies and gentleman in it’s closing days.

Often times you spend hours looking at framed paintings in Paris. We love this exhibit that features everything else.

Four hundred rarely displayed objects are on display, depicting different forms of optical illusions, from furniture to mirrors to clothing, etc. www.new-paris-ile-de-france.co.uk
