Bonjour from the City of Light! Welcome to Things to do in Paris, and what a spectacular Saturday, October 11th, 2025 we have in store for you! The autumn air is crisp and perfect for exploring, with that golden Parisian glow making everything look like a postcard. The city is absolutely buzzing today with the tail end of the famous Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre wrapping up, and trust me, you don't want to miss the final day of this legendary grape harvest celebration!

Speaking of which, if you're looking to dive into authentic Parisian culture today, head up to Montmartre for the grand finale of the Fête des Vendanges. The program is absolutely packed with a taste trail, a spectacular grand parade, the Decibels Vendanges concerts featuring artists like Kalupto and Ippon, and tours of those famous vineyards perched on the hilltop. It's the perfect blend of tradition, wine, and festive vibes that only Montmartre can deliver.

For you science nerds out there, and I say that with the utmost affection, the Grand Palais is hosting the Fête de la Science today with the Palais de la Découverte. It's completely free, and youngsters can get hands-on with scientific experiments and games. This is the kind of stuff that makes learning feel like an adventure, so bring the whole family!

Now, if you're in the mood for something truly unique, the Festival de la Lune is taking over Belleville this weekend. We're talking Asian street food, spectacular lion dancing, colorful lanterns, and workshops celebrating this thousand-year-old tradition. It's a free festival happening in the 20th and 11th arrondissements, and the energy there is absolutely electric.

Sports fans, buckle up because history is being made today at Stade Roland-Garros! Street League Skateboarding is transforming the legendary clay courts into a global skateboarding course for the very first time. Doors open at noon, with knockout rounds at 1 PM, and finals kicking off at 6:15 PM for women and 6:30 PM for men. You'll see world-class skaters like Yuto Horigome and Nyjah Huston throwing down tricks where tennis legends usually serve aces.

Here's a local tip for you: if you're exploring Gagny in Seine-Saint-Denis today, check out their Fête des Vendanges featuring a farmers' market and guinguette, all free of charge. It's one of those hidden gems that locals love but tourists often miss.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, the Fête de la Science continues with even more experiments at the Grand Palais, and there's a contemporary exhibition called Voir la mer opening at the Maif Social Club, running all the way through July 2026.
