Welcome to 'Things to do in Paris' on this chilly Saturday, February 22, 2025 As you step out into the city, you'll notice the winter chill still lingering, with temperatures hovering around 0°C and a light breeze. However, the air quality, though a bit concerning earlier in the month due to fine particle pollution, has slightly improved, making it a bit more breathable, especially in areas like Yvelines and southern Essonne[2].

Today, Paris is buzzing with a variety of events that cater to all interests. For music enthusiasts, Gims is set to wow the audience at La Seine Musicale with his great hits, promising an energetic and memorable night[1].

If you're in the mood for something more theatrical, the Moulin Rouge is putting on its glittering revue every night, complete with feathers, rhinestones, and the iconic cancan. Alternatively, you could catch the dazzling choreography of Holiday on Ice at the Zénith de Paris or enjoy the unique and quirky cabaret of Madame Arthur[1].

For those interested in art and culture, the Salon de Montrouge is ongoing until February 23, showcasing the creative works of emerging talents in contemporary art. This is a unique opportunity to explore the daring creations of new artists[1].

On the local news front, be aware that there are some disruptions to the RER B line due to works at Gare du Nord, so plan your commute accordingly. Also, the Paris Centre Piéton initiative is gearing up for its next car-free day on March 2, 2025, when the first four arrondissements will go green and car-free[3].

If you're looking for must-do activities today, consider taking a guided walking tour of Montmartre, which includes a visit to the beautiful Sacré-Coeur Basilica and a stroll through the picturesque Place du Tertre. For a more leisurely experience, take a self-guided walking tour along the Seine River, where you can enjoy the park, cafes, and play areas[4].

Here’s a local tip: When navigating Paris, remember that the city’s metro and RER lines can be complex. Use the real-time updates from RATP to plan your route efficiently, and don’t hesitate to ask locals for directions – they’re often more than happy to help[3].

As the day winds down, look forward to tomorrow’s exciting events. The International Agricultural Show continues at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, and if you’re a fan of rock music, Cage the Elephant will be performing at the Zénith on February 26, followed by Franz Ferdinand at La Cigale on February 27[1].
