You could win a one-night stay in this world-famous Paris art gallery

Time Out18 hours ago
There are some pretty plush places to stay if you're visiting Paris, but do any of them beat the chance to actually sleep in one of the city's finest contemporary galleries? Arguably not.
And no, we're not just thinking hypothetically – thanks to a collaboration between Staycation, a hotel booking platform, and the Palais de Tokyo, one of the French capital's most wonderfully bizarre modern art galleries, you could win the opportunity to spend the night in the museum.
Yes, you read that right. An apartment, which is usually reserved for artists in residence, will be transformed into a hotel room for just one night. But that's not all – the two lucky winners will also be given a guided tour through the gallery's two current exhibitions: Vivian Suter's 'Disco' and 'Ocotogone' by Chalisée Naamani.
At midnight, it's off to the artists' apartment. Expect cool, concrete decor and a bottle of Palais de Tokyo's own special cuvée to be waiting for you.
You'll sleep on an appropriately grand four poster, and have a breakfast of fresh pastries served to you in bed the next morning.
So, when is this magical night set to take place? That would be on Thursday, August 28. To be in with a chance of winning, keep an eye on the Staycation and Palais de Tokyo Instagram accounts from Monday 18 August, when the competition goes live.
In the meantime, these are the best museums in Paris.

Lil Yachty apologizes to Stephen Jackson over George Floyd lyric

"Put my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd," Yachty rapped on the song, per Billboard. Jackson condemned the "One Night" rapper in a now-deleted Instagram post, calling the lyric "demeaning" and writing, "Don't ever say his name, bro. None of y'all knew G. Nothing about him." The San Antonio Spurs alum has long been open about the loss of his friend Floyd, revealing in 2020 that the pair grew up in the same Houston, Texas neighborhood. USA TODAY has reached out to Lil Yachty's representatives for comment. Jackson says Yachty apologized for distasteful lyric In an Aug. 14 Instagram story, the "All the Smoke" podcast host later revealed that he is no longer upset with Yachty after the musician reached out and apologized. "I took my post down about Yachty because I'm emotional about George. I apologized to him. We spoke and he apologized as well," Jackson said. "I salute him. Not a lot of people like to own up to when they [expletive] up." Jackson added that he agreed a public apology was unnecessary after the two worked things out, and as Yachty understands the frustration caused by the lyrics. He added that he never had an issue with Yachty directly, but rather the idea of it being okay for people to demean the dead. He later added in an Aug. 15 Instagram post that he won't be discussing the situation in interviews, adding that "he's a smart young man" and "We move on from it."

Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem dance at Bad Bunny concert

"Gracias Benitoooooooo?Impresionante!!" Cruz, 51, wrote on Instagram Tuesday, Aug. 12, translating to, "Thank you Benito, impressive!" In the Instagram video, Cruz wears a black lacy top as she captures herself singing and dancing with Bardem, 56, close behind before she pans to Bad Bunny sitting and rapping on stage. She then pans back to a surprised Bardem wearing a black baseball cap. In fan videos, Cruz can also be seen introducing a track and shouting to the crowd: "Acho, PR es otra cosa!" translating to, "Hey, PR is something else!" Cruz and Bardem married in 2010 and have two children: Leo, 14, and Luna, 12. Bad Bunny, the Latin superstar born Benito Ocasio, kicked off his No Me Quiero Ir de Aqui (I Don't Want to Leave Here) residency July 11 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, the island's largest indoor arena. The first nine dates were reserved for local residents only, as Bad Bunny, 31, wanted to pay tribute to his homeland. He'll continue his performances every weekend through Sept. 14 for shows that are already boosting tourism in Puerto Rico. At another show, the Grammy-winning reggaeton superstar invited actor Austin Butler to join him on stage, as seen in viral fan footage shared on social media. Austin Butler recalls trippy Bad Bunny concert after taking edible: 'My brain is in two movies' Butler explained to "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon that his concert euphoria wasn't just a musical high. "Somebody gave me an edible right before the show, and I thought that was a good idea at the time," Butler said. "It's like my brain is in two movies." Bad Bunny's concerts are in support of his chart-topping sixth studio album, "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos," which reflects the musical styles he grew up with and lyrically tackles the cultural identity and the socio-political challenges of the island. The album's all-stadium world tour kicks off Nov. 21 in Santo Domingo and ends July 22 in Brussels, Belgium. The tour does not currently have any dates in the continental United States.
