Galerie d'art in Le Marais, eight galleries and their 2026 programme
Eight contemporary art galleries in the Marais with address, opening days and exhibitions announced for autumn 2026, free to enter. Programme read on 4 October 2026.
Two kinds of evidence
Eight contemporary galleries in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements meet two tests: an official website showing a 2026 programme, and an entry in Time Out’s selection of the 50 best galleries in Paris. That selection dates from 2023 and was changed in January 2024, so the 2026 proof is the programme on each gallery’s own site. We did not visit. Exhibitions below are given as read on 4 October 2026.

Not kept: Galleria Continua is outside the Time Out list, and the Karsten Greve address in the Marais could not be read.
A walk, not a route
The addresses are spread over the 3rd arrondissement and the 4th, so a gallery visit can be combined with a museum. Our pages on the Musée Picasso and the Carnavalet museum give their hours, and the Marais walking tour proposes a route.

Where the eight galleries stand
The addresses were located with the national address base (BAN). Four of them cluster in the east of the Haut-Marais, within about 190 m of the Picasso Museum: Perrotin (187 m), Almine Rech (156 m), Xippas (152 m) and Thaddaeus Ropac (147 m). Marian Goodman is 62 m from the Museum of Jewish Art and History, Templon 164 m from it, and Nathalie Obadia 174 m from the Centre Pompidou building, which is closed. Chantal Crousel sits between the two groups, 175 m from the Museum of Hunting and Nature.
A single walk through the eight
The shortest order we found, among all the possible orders of the eight addresses, starts at the Cloître Saint-Merri and ends at the rue de Turenne:
| Leg | Straight line | On foot |
|---|---|---|
| Nathalie Obadia to Templon | 399 m | 6 min |
| Templon to Marian Goodman | 170 m | 3 min |
| Marian Goodman to Chantal Crousel | 353 m | 6 min |
| Chantal Crousel to Xippas | 143 m | 2 min |
| Xippas to Thaddaeus Ropac | 71 m | 1 min |
| Thaddaeus Ropac to Perrotin | 74 m | 1 min |
| Perrotin to Almine Rech | 113 m | 2 min |
The straight-line total is 1,325 m, so about 1.7 km on foot by our rule of 1.3 times the straight line at 80 metres a minute, 21 minutes without stopping. The second half of the walk, from Xippas to Almine Rech, covers four addresses in under 400 m, and ends within 156 m of the Picasso Museum.
Days and hours
The galleries’ own hours decide the day. Chantal Crousel and Xippas are open Tuesday to Saturday; Thaddaeus Ropac, Templon, Almine Rech and Marian Goodman too. Nathalie Obadia alone lists Monday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. None lists Sunday on the pages we read, so Sunday is not a gallery day. Saturday ends at 6 p.m. at Marian Goodman and at 7 p.m. at the others whose hours we read; Perrotin’s hours were not readable. A Tuesday to Friday afternoon leaves room for a museum as well, because the Picasso and Carnavalet museums close on Monday and the Archives on Tuesday.
Where to look next
The Marais walking tour passes the Picasso Museum, a few steps from the rue de Turenne cluster. For the rest of the district’s shops, see shopping in Le Marais, and for a place to eat between gallery visits, brunch or the restaurant selection.
Metro for the galleries
Three corners of the walk need different stations; the nearest hotels to them give the walk.
- Hôtel Le Presbytère, 104 m from Nathalie Obadia, lists Hôtel de Ville (lines 1 and 11) at 250 m, 3 min on foot; Châtelet (lines 1 and 4 and 7 and 11 and 14) at 300 m, 4 min on foot.
- Experimental Marais, 240 m from Marian Goodman, lists Arts et Métiers (lines 3 and 11) at 350 m, 4 min on foot; Rambuteau (line 11) at 500 m, 6 min on foot.
- Villa Beaumarchais, 165 m from Almine Rech, lists Saint-Sébastien–Froissart (line 8) at 300 m, 4 min on foot; Chemin Vert (line 8) at 300 m, 4 min on foot.
Entry, booking and the longest week
Entry to all eight galleries is free, as they are commercial galleries, and none of the pages we read asks for a reservation. Nathalie Obadia has the longest week, six days from Monday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The two galleries on the rue de Turenne, Perrotin and Almine Rech, stand 113 m apart, so a short visit can be limited to them.
