Place de La Défense
From 30 october 2026 to 31 october 2026

The business district is getting ready to don its scariest costume! That’s right, Halloween is back—and with it, a guaranteed dose of thrills! On Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, 2026, a host of themed activities for all ages await you at Place de La Défense, the Espace Info Paris La Défense, and the jardin des Reflets.

From the immersive maze to the pumpkin-carving workshop, not to mention the face-painting booth for little monsters, there’s something for everyone. And that’s not all: enter our contest for a chance to win lots of surprises. If you want to learn more, follow the creature…

We have to get out of here!

This year’s big new feature is the 150-square-meter maze that will mysteriously appear in La Défense Square! An immersive experience that will challenge you to find your way out quickly… but not without a struggle. In this maze, anything is possible! Watch out for the encounters you’ll have along the way.

As you can see, your mission—should you choose to accept it—is to bravely venture into this eerie maze and find your way out while dodging the zombies.
