Le Grand Dîner du Louvre is the museum’s own fundraiser, a dinner given inside the Louvre on the opening day of Paris Fashion Week. All its profits go to the museum.
Dinner among the collections.
Two Dinners
The Louvre launched the dinner in its present form in 2025, in the colours of its LOUVRE COUTURE exhibition. The first was held on 4 March 2025: dinner in the Cour Marly, then a party under the Pyramid. More than 350 guests dined, it raised €1.4 million against a target of €1 million, and Doechii closed the evening.
The second, on 3 March 2026, took the theme “Le Louvre, la nuit”. Nearly three hundred guests dined in the Daru Gallery, at the foot of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and it raised €1.6 million for the preservation of the museum’s heritage.
The Table
Anne-Sophie Pic cooked the dinner at both editions, and it sits on the calendar of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode. Visa Infinite is its founding partner, and Visa has committed to finance the next three editions.
The museum’s own notice for 2027 plans an arrival, a route through the collections, and dinner in the Cour Marly.
