The French tradition of eschewing sleep in favour of discussion or partying is known as a nuit blanche, or white night. For one long October night in Paris, from the 6th to the 7th, insomnia is considered a virtue.

Throughout the Nuit Blanche, museums, libraries, monuments, places of worship, tourist sites, cinemas, parks and gardens, hospitals, swimming pools and universities in Paris stay open all night to the public for a cultural night of discovery.

Around 600,000 revellers participated in 2006 and numbers are expected to be equally high this year. At dawn, each district's city hall, local associations and shopkeepers organise breakfasts for those who lasted through the night. Further details are posted on the Nuit Blanche website as they are announced.
