Bonjour, listeners, and welcome to Things to Do in Paris with me, Oly Bennet—your globe-trotting, sports-mad guide to all things quirky and epic around the City of Light! Today is Thursday, October 2, 2025, and Paris is serving up its classic autumn vibes: cool, crisp air, a cheeky sun peeking through feisty clouds, and the leaves in the parks getting ready for their annual masquerade ball of colors. If you’re in town, get ready—a mix of wild culture, offbeat fun, and Parisian panache awaits!

First, let’s catch a quick feel for today’s city buzz. According to Paris Je T’aime, the city’s calendar is absolutely stacked, celebrating the launch of its autumn cultural season—think exhibitions, epic concerts, and the all-important lead-up to Halloween. Fancy a free chateau visit? Five grand castles around Paris are flinging their doors open for free this Sunday, so prep your best selfie-face. And hey, this is Paris—expect the metro to be running with its usual flair (occasional drama), and great news: those famous Notre-Dame towers just reopened last week! So, for the first time since the fire, you can climb up, face the chimeras, and soak in that legendary 360-degree city view.

Now, let’s dive into today’s headline events! For you wellness warriors, the Salon Zen kicks off at Espace Champerret, promising immersive zen vibes, workshops, and—possibly—spiritual enlightenment, or at least a much-needed massage. For families, Disneyland Paris is all in for Halloween, with pumpkins, costumed villains, and magical mischief through November. If you fancy high culture, the Grand Palais hosts Les DeuxMains du Luxe, a fab showcase of French craftsmanship, where artisans whip up everything from jewelry to pastries before your very eyes—no wand required. And if you’re partial to pop-up weirdness, Montmartre has Café Lancôme x Aya Nakamura; think make-up magic, style samples, and surprise treats in a setting that’s basically a chic Instagram post come to life.

Night owls, fear not! Paris nightlife sparkles tonight. Catch the new Panayotis Pascot comedy show at Bobino for laughs so French they ought to come with a Molière warning. Over at Espace DANAE, there’s a free Ghost in the Shell manga art exhibition—that’s cybernetic Japanese cool, right in the heart of Parisian tradition.

Restaurant news: The local grapevine’s buzzing about new culinary gems popping up in the Marais and Bastille, like secret speakeasy bistros and vegan patisseries serving pain au chocolat that’s allegedly so good, it’ll convert steak lovers. On your travels, remember: Tap water is safe, cafés will NEVER rush your espresso, and everyone’s expected to carry a book or at least pretend to be halfway through Proust.

Here’s a tip to wow your Parisian pals: Take the metro to Line 4’s ‘Saint-Michel’ and, instead of hitting the usual Notre-Dame route, explore the hidden Rue de la Huchette. It's jammed with little theaters, crepe stands, and enough oddball acts that you might catch a juggling phi

Bonjour, adventure seekers and Paris dreamers! Oly Bennet here tapping in from the heart of Paris, where the energy today—Sunday, September 28, 2025—is poppin’ like a fresh baguette from the oven. The weather’s treating us to that perfect Indian summer glow: warm sun, a light breeze, and the city’s trees flirting with their first gilded tips of autumn. Parisians are freshly back from their holidays, riding high on la rentrée spirit, and you can feel the buzz—a mix between the daily café rush and the thrill of phenomenal events lighting up the city.

Now, for today’s offbeat Parisian menu of the wild and wonderful! First up, the legendary Foire de Chatou is back on Île des Impressionnistes—think France’s grandest antique and vintage fair, where you might just discover Marie Antoinette’s old tea set squeezed between a 1980s Minitel and some haute couture hats. Glitter, history, and treasures galore for bargain-hunters and everyone who loves a rummage.

For families looking to squeeze the last juice from summer, head to Bois de Boulogne for La Fête à Neuneu—a classic funfair with merry-go-rounds, cotton candy, and enough raucous games to bring out the child in everyone. If you fancy a dip into Parisian culture, check out Fables Immersives near the Champs-Élysées, where the witty tales of La Fontaine come to life in an interactive, story-rich spectacle that’s pure magic no matter your age.

Art lovers, don’t miss the John Singer Sargent show at Musée d’Orsay. With 90 works strutting their stuff, this exhibition is basically Paris Fashion Week for paintings. Speaking of fashion, Printemps Haussmann is displaying “Bag, bag, bag. More Than a Bag”—it’s a free exhibition that charts the epic quest of handbags, from Louis Vuitton powerhouses to the delightfully weird wonders only Parisians could dream up.

For music fans craving more than just accordion solos on the Metro, Architects, the British metalcore band, are firing up the Adidas Arena tonight for some ear-splitting energy.

For those prowling Paris by night, Pigalle’s Cancan Pigalle presents TurboCancan, an irreverent cabaret shaking up the usual routine. And if you’re curious about what’s new off the streets, the freshly reopened towers of Notre-Dame now feature a revamped visitor itinerary. The view at the top is spectacular, the climb is a great warm-up for your quads, and yes, you can now dazzle your friends with the ultimate gargoyle selfie.

Checking in on city life: Paris Metro lines are running smoothly—but watch for the weekend closures on select RER lines for annual maintenance, so double-check your journeys if you’re zooming beyond the city center. Two hot new eateries opened in the Marais—one specializing in vegan croissants (sacrebleu!) and the other in Alsatian comfort food, perfect for those pre-winter cravings.

Oly’s tip for today: when wandering Montmartre, skip the tourist-crowded Sacré-Cœur steps and climb up Rue du Mont-Cenis at sunrise. You’ll get a local’s view of Paris wakin

The city is shaking off early autumn clouds this morning with a cool breeze and a high chance of excitement. Paris is buzzing—music, art, and a dash of vintage flair are on the menu, with crowds of all ages filling the boulevards and historic squares.

Let’s kick things off with today’s hot events, because Paris is serving up more variety than a cheese shop in Montmartre. First up, the legendary Montmartre Festival is turning the 18th arrondissement into an open-air art party—imagine street concerts, dazzling exhibitions, and hands-on creative workshops, all totally free. Then, swing over to the Louis Vuitton Art Deco exhibition at LV Dream, an immersive, free journey through 300 stunning artifacts, where you can tickle your fancy for fashion, history, and savoir-faire. If your sneakers are itching, Dream Nation kicks off tonight at Parc des Expos Paris Nord—a full-blown electronic music blowout with headliners like Ascendant Vierge and Wilkinson, basically enough bass to make the Eiffel Tower shimmy. For families or art-seekers, the tribute exhibition to the iconic street artist Miss.Tic opens today in the 13th—dive into her poetic, rebellious world, and yes, it’s also free. And for night owls or rooftop romantics, Paris Rooftop Days are in full swing, with over-the-top city views, open-air parties, and pop-up food stalls on secret sky-high terraces around town.

There’s also creative magic at the Musée Guimet as India’s vibrant Durga Puja festival invades the galleries all weekend; a whirlwind of performances, crafts, and puppet shows. If you love a good hunt, the Violette Sauvage mega fashion flea market pops up in the Marais, so pack light and leave with arms full of Parisian treasures. Culture vultures, make a beeline for the Musée d’Orsay, where the John Singer Sargent exhibition just opened—Parisian years, glitter, and society glamour captured on canvas.

Now, here’s what’s making the local news chatter: The towers of Notre-Dame have just reopened with a totally revamped tour—69 meters up, history buffs and Instagrammers rejoice! Foodies, pencil this in: Paris is buzzing about the soft opening of “Atelier Oiseau,” a bistronomy hotspot in the 2nd, where they’re fusing modern French cuisine with Asian flavors, and word is the duck confit bao is already legendary. On the transit front, expect brief delays on Metro Line 14 this afternoon due to scheduled maintenance—buses will be running, but if you’re late for the electro rave, don’t blame Oly!

For today’s must-do adventure, even if you’ve ticked off the classics, don’t miss renting a vélib’ bike and rolling along the Seine—stop at Parc Rives-de-Seine where you can challenge strangers to giant Connect Four or just lounge under a palm tree pretending you’re in tropical Paris.

Bonjour, globe-trotting legends! It’s Oly Bennet here with your daily scoop on Things to Do in Paris for Thursday, September 25, 2025. I hope you’ve brought your adventurous spirit—and maybe an appetite for baguettes—because Paris is buzzing louder than a Parisian espresso machine this week.

Today, Paris is absolutely sparkling with that autumn “la rentrée” energy. Temperatures are hanging around the low 20s Celsius, so it’s warm enough for strolling but crisp enough to make you fall in love with your own scarf. The city’s still basking in golden late-summer sunlight, as Parisians return from their holidays ready to take on a new season of art, music, and sport.

Your day in Paris kicks off with a seriously stacked lineup of events. For music lovers, French icon Florent Pagny is electrifying the Seine Musicale tonight with his Taratata concert event—think superstar duets, original covers, and the kind of musical surprises that leave you shouting “encore!” If your feet aren’t made for standing still, the urban dance universe descends on Zénith for the final of the Fusion Concept Festival, where the world’s top hip-hop dancers will spin, pop, and lock for glory. Meanwhile, art fans have a feast at their fingertips as PHOTOCLIMAT, the city’s open-air gallery, transforms Parisian squares and quays with striking photographic installations all month long, putting environmental activism center stage. Got kids — or are you simply a kid at heart? Hit the Tuileries for a wild “Heroes of Mythology” treasure hunt or take a family-friendly cruise on the Seine—the boats are practically waving at you.

And if you’re more of a night owl, the Parisian nightlife doesn’t disappoint: from jazz sessions at Sunset Sunside to a cocktail crawl in the Marais, you’ve got plenty of choice between classy and quirky.

Now for some city buzz. The big local news? Notre Dame’s towers are finally reopening this month! That’s right, you can climb the legendary 424 steps and enjoy spectacular views from a revitalized, enhanced itinerary. Public transit’s just gotten a boost too, with extra late-night Metro trains running during the festival-heavy weekends, so catching that midnight show just got way easier. And foodie alert: two sizzling new bouchons (that’s Lyon-style bistros) just opened in the Latin Quarter, serving up everything from duck confit to mysterious sausage dishes. Take your tastebuds on their own Tour de France, minus the spandex.

Paris is all about living in the moment, but here’s an Oly original must-do for this glorious Thursday: picnic like a true Parisian! Nab a flaky croissant and a coffee, head to the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, and watch locals walking their impossibly tiny dogs. Want to feel like a native? Order your croissant “bien cuit” if you like it extra crispy. Fun fact: The Paris Metro has 16 lines and counting, but did you know Line 14 is the only one fully automatic? That means sometimes, there’s nobody in the driver’s seat—just like my approach to
