Paris this week is buzzing with culture, curiosity, and creativity—offering an irresistible mix of events that invite both locals and visitors to experience the city at its best. Let’s start with the vibrant Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre, which runs right through this weekend; expect wine tastings, lively parades, and free concerts on the iconic hilltop, as well as a chance to explore Montmartre’s legendary vineyards. The festival’s grand parade and closing ball are not to be missed, especially if you enjoy the convivial blend of Parisian tradition and modern celebration.

For those seeking something a little different, swing by Village Reille in the 14th arrondissement for À la croisée des arts, a unique free festival celebrating street art and textile recycling. Over twenty urban artists and fashion designers are collaborating on live painting, exhibitions, and even a fashion show—perfect for anyone inspired by eco-conscious creativity. If street art is your thing, don’t forget the Bombasphères collective, whose 26 female artists are painting fresh murals all weekend in a 10th arrondissement bar—a rare chance to see the city’s walls transform in real time.

Science enthusiasts have their moment, too: the Fête de la Science takes over the Grand Palais—Palais de la Découverte this Sunday with free, family-friendly experiments, workshops, and interactive games. It’s a fantastic day out for curious minds of all ages, and highlights Paris’s commitment to making science accessible and fun for everyone.

Art lovers will find plenty to explore. The new Louis Vuitton Art Déco exhibition at LV Dream in the 1st arrondissement showcases over 300 heritage pieces in an immersive, free display, marking a century of modernist design. Meanwhile, Galleria Continua in the Marais debuts Berlinde De Bruyckere’s “Need,” a powerful solo exhibition exploring themes of vulnerability and the human body—admission is free through December. The Panthéon also opens a special, free exhibition dedicated to Robert Badinter, the renowned justice reformer, focusing on his life and legacy—available without charge for the first two days starting Saturday.

Foodies aren’t left out. The new Sababa restaurant in the 11th arrondissement, founded by a Palestinian from Gaza and a Franco-Israeli, is drawing crowds for its mezze, poetry readings, and live music—a space designed to foster dialogue and togetherness. It’s a reminder that Paris remains a melting pot where culinary innovation and social connection go hand in hand.

Sports fans can catch the France-Azerbaijan World Cup qualifier at the Parc des Princes on Friday evening, an electric chance to see Les Bleus in action. And if you’re looking to get active, join the Vivons Vélo bike ride and treasure hunt through the Bois de Vincennes on Sunday—every kilometer you pedal helps raise funds for the Institut Pasteur.

Halloween is creeping in as well: Mad Golf in the 2nd arrondissement hosts “L’Étrange Crazy Golf,” a spooky indoor mini-golf experience transforming the course into a haunted playground until early November.

For those planning ahead, Art Basel Paris arrives at the Grand Palais later this month with pop-up exhibitions around the city.
