Pavilion Days: the program for the French Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025
Published on 2 October 2025
The Pavilion Days of the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025 will take place on October 9 and 10.
Conceived as a time for sharing ideas and themes carried by architects and curators from national pavilions, Pavilion Days aims to strengthen, through a program of events and meetings, the international professional network for architecture and, more broadly, culture. It is an initiative of the Global Commissioners Group, an open, horizontal collective in which France plays an active part alongside other national pavilions such as those of Germany, Great Britain, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Estonia and Switzerland.
Guided tours of the exhibition of participating countries* (Giardini, Arsenale and city) are offered free of charge during these two days, upon reservation. They offer the opportunity for privileged encounters with the curators and organizers of the various pavilions. Tours will start each day at 10:30 am in the Giardini for routes 2 and 3, and in the Estonian Pavilion (Castello 1611) for route 1.
*Estonia, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Croatia, Austria, Poland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, Canada, Belgium.
