Welcome to 'Time IN Paris' on this crisp Thursday, October 10, 2024. As the autumn leaves start to paint the city in vibrant hues, Paris is buzzing with a multitude of exciting events and activities.

The weather in Paris is mild, with balmy nights, making it a perfect time to enjoy sidewalk dining or take in the beautiful fall foliage in the city's parks. Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening today:

- For photography enthusiasts, the Salon de la Photo is underway at the Grande Halle de la Villette, offering a wide range of equipment and insights from amateur and professional photographers.
- If you're a fan of classical music, you can catch the Ensemble Royal de Paris performing Vivaldi, Bach, and Mozart at Saint Julien le Pauvre Church.
- In the evening, head to the Seine Musicale for Matthieu Kassovitz’s immersive stage version of the cult 90s film La Haine, a unique cultural event that blends film and theater.

For families, the Sand Fabrik de Pantin is a great spot for some indoor and outdoor fun, with beach volleyball and other sand sports available, despite the autumn chill.

On the local news front, Paris Fashion Week has just concluded, but the city is still abuzz with fashion events. Yves Saint Laurent Beauty has an immersive pop-up at the Canopée du Forum des Halles, showcasing their new fragrances until October 6.

Must-do activities for the day include a visit to the Bourse de Commerce to explore the new exhibition on the Italian art movement arte povera, or taking a stroll through the historic vineyards of Montmartre during the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre, which runs from October 9 to 13.

Here’s a local tip: To navigate like a Parisian, consider using the Velib bike-sharing service to explore the city. It’s an eco-friendly and fun way to see the sights, especially during the mild autumn weather.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, don’t miss the Vredestein 20 km de Paris, a running competition with a theme of dance, and the Parisienne, a women’s-only race followed by a festival of sport.

Tune in tomorrow for more on what to do in Paris, and until then, à bientôt
