Welcome to Things to Do in Paris, listeners! I'm Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting sports nut turned city explorer, diving into the quirkiest corners of the City of Light. Today, Friday, February 6th, 2026, Paris hums with a crisp winter chill around 8 degrees Celsius, sunny skies perfect for bundling up and chasing adventures—think hot chocolate breaks amid the buzz of early spring fever.

Kick off your day with these hot picks: Head to FVTVR at Quai d’Austerlitz for their epic second birthday bash starting tonight, featuring over 20 DJs like Jen Cardini b2b Sally C and Shanti Celeste—pure underground dance magic running through Sunday. Families, bolt to Disney Village in Chessy for free live music, DJ sets from 8pm outdoors, and vibes at spots like Billy Bob's Saloon—no park ticket needed! Catch Ollie Lishman spinning dance beats at Rex Club for nightlife fire, or soak in the ongoing revival of Angelin Preljocaj's sensual ballet Le Parc at Opéra National de Paris, channeling Mozart's magic through February 25th. Culture buffs, Un ballo in maschera by Verdi runs at Opéra Bastille till late February—grand opera drama awaits!

Local buzz: RER A trains to Disneyland Paris are smooth, but watch for minor delays on Line 13 metro per city updates—grab a Navigo pass like a pro. New gem: Petite Rosalie terrace at Disney Village for cozy French bites.

Must-dos today? Storm the Eiffel Tower at golden hour for that unbeatable sparkle, then uncover hidden gem Marché des Enfants Rouges for multicultural street eats—Paris's oldest covered market pulses with energy. For a seasonal twist, glide through winter ice rinks at Hôtel de Ville, channeling my love for oddball skating comps!

Local tip: Parisians dodge tourist traps by saying "un café serré" for a strong espresso—sip like a local and blend right in. Fun fact: Paris hosts more Michelin stars per square kilometer than anywhere, but the real quirk? Cheese wheels outweigh the Eiffel Tower!

Tomorrow, Victoires de la Musique noms heat up ahead of the February 13th gala—tune in for French music mania!
