The Association Matignon Saint-Honoré (MaSH) Holds a Cocktail Event at Le Bristol
Paris, September 11th, 2025: Following the success of its first edition in 2024, the Association Matignon Saint-Honoré, chaired by Hélène Bailly Marcilhac and co-founded with Raphaël Durazzo and Alexis Lartigue, is hosting an event on October 20th, 2025, to kick off Paris Art Week. In the heart of the 8th arrondissement, which has become one of the most vibrant artistic hubs in Paris, the public will be invited to freely explore an itinerary featuring exhibitions and openings at participating galleries.
Under the patronage of Pierre Yovanovitch, the 2025 edition underlines the central role of the Matignon Saint-Honoré neighbourhood on the cultural scene. This opening night is part of the official programme of Art Basel Paris Events, ensuring increased visibility among international collectors and professionals.
For the occasion, the Matignon avenue will be closed to traffic and will host dance performances by La Horde, a collective that represents a new generation of choreographers, whose contemporary energy and unique aesthetic will transform the public space into a veritable open-air stage. In addition, AXA, a major partner of the event, will open the doors of its historic headquarters — recently renovated after three and a half years of work — for the first time to welcome the public and share this unique cultural moment.
