Demonstrations are announced in Paris on 31 October: expect possible metro disruption around République and Châtelet-Les Halles (per Sortiraparis, page of 29 September, to be checked on the day). Halloween has become firmly established in Parisian habits in recent years, driven mainly by the region's major theme parks, which reshape a good part of their October programming around the theme. In the city itself, the atmosphere stays more low-key than in the United States, with mostly themed nights at bars and a handful of decorated shop windows, but families will still find plenty to fill the period, especially during the Toussaint school holidays, which fall around October 31st every year. Disneyland Paris and Parc Astérix remain the two most complete options for a great Halloween day or evening out, each with its own atmosphere and its own seasonal decorations.
Parc Astérix
The park extends its season into October with autumn decorations, costumed parades and a handful of rides given a spookier twist for the occasion, all within its usual Gaulish setting.
Disneyland Paris
The park puts on one of Europe's most elaborate Halloween seasons every year, with giant pumpkins, nighttime parades and themed decor across both parks of the complex.
Tips
- Both parks fill up more easily in October during the Toussaint school holidays: book your tickets ahead of time and plan to arrive right at opening to enjoy the most popular rides before the afternoon crowds build up. To pick a quieter day, also see our guide to crowds at Disneyland Paris.
- In the city, several bars and rooftops hold costume parties on October 31st or the closest weekend, usually announced a few weeks ahead on the venues' social media rather than on any central calendar. For a spooky evening away from the parks, an evening walk through Paris's dark history, ghosts and legends visits places tied to apparition stories; check the tour language before booking.
