Salut, adventurers! Oly Bennet here, your globe-trotting guide to the unexpected, the offbeat, and the marvelously memorable. Welcome to Things to Do in Paris on this fine Sunday, November 2, 2025—grab your croissants, charge your phones, and let’s launch into the whirlwind that is Paris today!

Paris is turning up its autumn charm with crisp air, cozy scarves, and a solid 13°C—perfect for meandering the boulevards or heating up the dance floors later tonight. According to Paris Je t’aime, there’s a serious festive buzz as Parisians trade beach days for bustling exhibitions, world-class tennis serves, and, yes, more chocolate than a squirrel could hoard in a century.

Today’s calendar is jam-packed, starting with the final volleys of the Rolex Paris Masters 2025, the planet’s most electrifying indoor tennis faceoff, wrapping up this very evening at Paris La Défense Arena. Expect grand slams, soaring cheers, and probably a few desperate attempts by Oly to sneak in for a selfie with the champion’s trophy.

Tennis not your racquet? Zip over to the Parc des Expositions for the last day of the legendary Salon du Chocolat—30 years of chocolate mastery, jaw-dropping sculptures you wish you could eat, and an aroma that’ll knock the beret right off your head. You’ve never seen so much cocoa in one place, and neither have your taste buds!

For music buffs and metalheads, Danish hard rockers Volbeat are set to rattle the roof at Zénith Paris tonight, joined by Bush and Witch Fever. If you prefer your spectacles a tad more visual, the Salon d’Automne spills over Place de la Concorde today as contemporary artists display more than a thousand works. Don’t forget your abstract thinking cap!

Young explorers—brace for interactive mischief! The first Sunday of the month means free entry to major museums and even nine castles around Paris. Go medieval at the Château de Vincennes or live out your best Bridgerton dreams in Chantilly, all without spending a sou. If you’ve got juniors in tow or are just young at heart, the Paradox Museum wraps up two weeks of Halloween magic and mind-bending illusions—prepare to question reality and your sense of direction!

Let’s squeeze in a look at what’s buzzing around the city. Good news for foodies: Paris Update reports several new restaurants opening near the Marais—keep eyes and noses out for the freshest bistros soon to grace your Instagram feed. The Metro’s been running like clockwork after last week’s brief maintenance on Line 6; expect smooth travels as you zip between events today.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a Paris pro, don’t skip these must-do classics—an early autumn cruise on the Seine with riotous leaf colors, and legendary window displays on Boulevard Haussmann where the Christmas lights are starting to shimmer. Fancy a quieter adventure? Try the new immersive “Jules Verne” show at Hôtel des Rêves or get lost in the Art Deco splendor at Musée des Arts Décoratifs—it’s their hundredth birthday, so the party’s bound to be fabulous.

Paris tip from Oly’s magic hat: Always sneak a pain au chocolat into your bag before a museum day—Parisians swear by this trick for keeping energy high and grumpiness low. Also, Sunday’s free museum entry means crowds, so hit the big ones like Musée d’Orsay or the Louvre early for less elbow jostling and more Mona Lisa winking.

Teaser for your Monday: Get ready for the neon-fueled Paris Games Week closing out tomorrow, plus a sneak peek at DJ-driven Halloween afterparties and some outlandish eco-festivals turning the city even greener. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it.
