Slug rules

The conventions to keep in mind when checking English URLs.

Shared principles

  • language prefix first, before the route family
  • lowercase only
  • accents and special characters normalized
  • words joined with hyphens
  • no extra trailing slash inside the slug itself
  • one canonical slug per entity, with aliases and variants handled elsewhere

Key point

Slugs are not all built the same way. An exhibition page needs more disambiguation, while a theme, artist or period can stay much shorter.

Page families

For each family: its role, slug pattern and a few visible English examples.

Exhibitions

The most important records on the site, built to capture search intent, help visitors choose and redistribute traffic to the rest of the catalogue.

Open index
Index /en/exhibitions/
Detail pattern /en/exhibitions/{title}-{venue}-{start-date}/
Examples
/en/exhibitions/18th-century-fashion-palais-galliera-2026-03-14/ /en/exhibitions/marilyn-monroe-la-cinematheque-francaise-2026-04-08/
Reading notes
  • The slug combines the exhibition title, the main venue and the opening date.
  • It is the longest pattern because exhibition pages need strong disambiguation.

Venues

Institutional hubs for museums, foundations and other exhibition spaces.

Open index
Index /en/venues/
Detail pattern /en/venues/{venue-name}/
Examples
/en/venues/palais-galliera/ /en/venues/musee-national-picasso-paris/
Reading notes
  • The slug is based on the editorial venue name.
  • It should stay stable even when the programme changes.

Themes

Broad search worlds such as fashion, history, design or science.

Open index
Index /en/themes/
Detail pattern /en/themes/#{theme}
Examples
/en/themes/#mode /en/themes/#design
Reading notes
  • Themes are durable editorial universes.
  • A theme is not an artist, a movement or a historical period.

Audiences

Usage-led hubs: who an exhibition is especially relevant for.

Open index
Index /en/audiences/
Detail pattern /en/audiences/#{profile}
Examples
/en/audiences/#familles-et-enfants /en/audiences/#sortie-en-couple
Reading notes
  • The slug describes a real visitor profile or visit context.
  • This family is about the visitor, not the exhibition topic.

Agenda

Freshness hubs for practical searches: now, this weekend, last days and upcoming exhibitions.

Open index
Index /en/agenda/
Detail pattern /en/agenda/{moment}/
Examples
/en/agenda/now/ /en/agenda/this-weekend/
Reading notes
  • This family is about the visit moment, not the historical period represented by the show.
  • It is a strong axis for real visitor use and search.

Months

Monthly calendar hubs for queries such as exhibitions in Paris in March 2026.

Open index
Index /en/months/
Detail pattern /en/months/{month}-{year}/
Examples
/en/months/march-2026/ /en/months/april-2026/
Reading notes
  • The slug simply contains the month and the year.
  • The city is not repeated because it is already implicit in the current site positioning.

Years

Annual hubs that group the exhibition offer for a given year.

Open index
Index /en/years/
Detail pattern /en/years/{year}/
Examples
/en/years/2026/
Reading notes
  • The slug intentionally stays short.
  • It supports a broader time-based navigation without adding geographic noise.

Artists

Pages that answer a direct question: where can visitors see this artist in Paris?

Open index
Index /en/artists/
Detail pattern /en/artists/{artist}/
Examples
/en/artists/pablo-picasso/ /en/artists/claude-monet/
Reading notes
  • This page type is reserved for artists with real visibility or search demand.
  • The slug is based on the normalized person name.

Movements

Pages for artistic movements or schools, such as Impressionism, Rococo or Art Deco.

Open index
Index /en/movements/
Detail pattern /en/movements/{movement}/
Examples
/en/movements/rococo/ /en/movements/impressionism/
Reading notes
  • A movement is neither a broad theme nor a historical period.
  • The slug follows the canonical movement name.

Subjects

Concrete long-tail routes: specific topics covered by several exhibitions.

Open index
Index /en/subjects/
Detail pattern /en/subjects/{subject}/
Examples
/en/subjects/18th-century-fashion/ /en/subjects/war-photography/
Reading notes
  • A subject is more precise than a theme.
  • It should stay understandable, useful and indexable.

Periods

Chronological hubs for the historical periods represented in exhibitions.

Open index
Index /en/periods/
Detail pattern /en/periods/{period}/
Examples
/en/periods/18th-century/ /en/periods/1930s/
Reading notes
  • A period is not a visit timeframe.
  • This family describes the period shown by the exhibition, not when someone visits it.

What to remember

A short version of the site logic.

Exhibition pages carry the longest URLs They need to carry the title, the venue and the opening date so each page stays clear and distinct.
Context hubs stay shorter Artists, movements, subjects, periods, themes and audience pages use readable slugs designed to remain stable over time.
Time is split into three families Agenda covers visit timing, months cover the monthly calendar and years provide a broader annual view.
English routes must stay English Public English URLs use /en/ with English route segments such as exhibitions, venues, audiences, months, years and site-tree.
