Jérémy Pradier-Jeauneau at the Arc de Triomphe: a monumental carte blanche

A one-of-a-kind event! Jérémy Pradier-Jeauneau takes over the Arc de Triomphe for an exceptional immersive experience, including the first-ever opening of the roof parapet

From September 9 to October 4, 2026, the Arc de Triomphe and the Centre des Monuments Nationaux are giving artist and artistic director Jérémy Pradier-Jeauneau carte blanche to create a monumental installation. Inspired by a childhood memory, the project offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic building, transforming its historic spaces into a sensory and introspective universe. The journey unfolds as an experience where abstract sculptures, immersive installations, sound compositions, and fragrant scents come together. By creating a dialogue between glass, ceramics, and fabrics crafted with exceptional artisans, Jérémy Pradier-Jeauneau explores emptiness as a space for creation. A highlight of the exhibition culminates in the historic opening of a secret space within the monument-the roof parapet-offering a new perspective on the Parisian skyline.
