Celine Dion in Paris 2026 — The complete guide for international fans

Welcome to Paris for Celine Dion 2026

If you are travelling to Paris from the UK, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, the USA or anywhere else in the world to see Celine Dion 2026 residency, this guide is for you. We cover everything from getting there to making the most of your stay — including the must-do Celine on the Seine cruise.

Getting to Paris

By plane

Paris has two main airports: Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY). CDG is the largest and best connected internationally. From CDG, the RER B train takes you directly to central Paris in about 35 minutes.

By Eurostar from London

From London St Pancras, the Eurostar reaches Paris Gare du Nord in about 2h20. Direct, central, no airport stress — the best option for UK fans.

The Paris La Défense Arena — where Celine performs

Celine Dion 2026 residency takes place at the Paris La Défense Arena, Esplanade de La Défense, 92000 Nanterre. Metro: Line 14 (La Défense station, a few minutes' walk).

Celine on the Seine — do not miss it

The Celine on the Seine cruise runs on Saturday afternoons (1–5 PM) throughout the residency. A 100% Celine DJ set, live violinist, Sing Along moments, Outfit Contest and a surprise on board — all while cruising past the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame.

If your concert is on a Saturday evening, you can do both: cruise in the afternoon, concert at night. Departure: 4 Quai Saint-Bernard, 75005 Paris (Metro: Jussieu, lines 7 and 10).

Where to stay

5th arrondissement (Latin Quarter) — 10 min walk to the cruise departure, 20 min metro to the Paris La Défense Arena. Our top recommendation.
4th arrondissement (Marais) — central, beautiful, well connected.
La Défense area — walkable to the Paris La Défense Arena.

Getting around Paris

The Paris metro runs until 1:15 AM (2:15 AM on weekends). Buy a carnet of 10 tickets or a weekly Navigo pass. Apps: Bonjour RATP, Citymapper.
