Parisian Charms: Concerts, Ballet, and Festive Delights for a Chilly Winter's Day
Welcome to 'Things to do in Paris' on this chilly Monday, December 30, 2024. As we dive into the last days of the year, Paris is wrapped in a quintessential winter ambiance, characterized by temperatures hovering around 8°C and the occasional drizzle, making it a perfect time to enjoy the city's indoor and outdoor delights.
Today, the city is buzzing with a variety of events that cater to all interests. For the culturally inclined, the Ensemble Royal de Paris is performing Vivaldi, Bach, and Mozart at the Saint Julien le Pauvre Church, a beautiful setting to soak in some classical music. If ballet is more your style, the Paris Opera Ballet is presenting 'Paquita' at the Opera Bastille, a stunning display of dance and music.
Music lovers have another treat in store with the Candlelight Concert featuring Chopin, Schubert, Satie, and Beethoven at the Saint-Ephrem Church. This intimate setting, illuminated by candlelight, promises to be a magical experience. For those looking for something unique, Les Violons de France will be playing Vivaldi's Four Seasons at La Madeleine Church, a historic and acoustically superb venue.
On the local news front, Paris is still recovering from a recent fire opposite Saint-Lazare station, so it's best to avoid that area. The Eiffel Tower, after a brief evacuation due to a technical incident, is now partially reopened, ensuring visitors can still enjoy this iconic landmark. Public transit users should note that some metro stations may be closed due to ongoing works and the upcoming New Year's Eve celebrations, but the metro and RER will continue to operate in other areas.
If you're looking for must-do activities today, consider visiting the Louvre, one of Paris's main sights, or take a stroll through the festive Christmas markets scattered around the city. For a hidden gem, explore the Passage Mouffetard, a secret cobblestone street filled with potted plants and hanging vines, tucked away behind the bustling Rue Mouffetard.
Here’s a local tip: To navigate like a Parisian, use the RATP app to stay updated on real-time traffic and public transit information. It’s your best friend when moving around the city, especially during peak event times.
As we wrap up today's adventures, keep an eye out for tomorrow's grand New Year's Eve celebration on the Champs Elysées. The event promises live music, DJ sets, aerial performances, and a spectacular fireworks display at midnight. It's an event you won't want to miss, but be prepared for large crowds and tight security.
Tune in tomorrow for more on what to do in Paris as we ring in the new year in style. Until then, enjoy the festive spirit of this beautiful city
