There are some pretty plush places to stay if you’re visiting Paris, but do any of them beat the chance to actually sleep in one of the city’s finest contemporary galleries? Arguably not.
And no, we’re not just thinking hypothetically – thanks to a collaboration between Staycation, a hotel booking platform, and the Palais de Tokyo, one of the French capital’s most wonderfully bizarre modern art galleries, you could win the opportunity to spend the night in the museum.
Yes, you read that right. An apartment, which is usually reserved for artists in residence, will be transformed into a hotel room for just one night. But that’s not all – the two lucky winners will also be given a guided tour through the gallery’s two current exhibitions: Vivian Suter’s ‘Disco’ and ‘Ocotogone’ by Chalisée Naamani.

At midnight, it’s off to the artists’ apartment. Expect cool, concrete decor and a bottle of Palais de Tokyo’s own special cuvée to be waiting for you.
You’ll sleep on an appropriately grand four poster, and have a breakfast of fresh pastries served to you in bed the next morning.
So, when is this magical night set to take place? That would be on Thursday, August 28. To be in with a chance of winning, keep an eye on the Staycation and Palais de Tokyo Instagram accounts from Monday 18 August, when the competition goes live.
In the meantime, these are the best museums in Paris.
