Listen Later

Welcome listeners to Things to do in Paris with your globetrotting host, Ollie Bennet—ready to bounce into the City of Light’s quirkiest happenings this Sunday, September 14, 2025! Paris today is buzzing with energy, sporting sunny skies with a light breeze—perfect for a day of adventure and epic Instagram moments. The Olympic spirit still lingers, the streets are alive, and the scent of espresso wafts through the air—yes, the vibe is très Parisien.

Now, what’s setting the city’s pulse racing? First and foremost, Rue de Rivoli transforms into the Boulevard du Sport for the Fête du Sport—almost fifty federations turning the iconic stretch into a giant outdoor arena, complete with wild sports demos and chances to meet real-life Olympians. If you want to see everything from fencing to frisbee, this is your field of dreams. Meanwhile, the Racing Club de France is flinging its doors open for more sporty shenanigans, so put on your sweatbands and act like you belong on the French national team.

If horsepower’s more your thing, the Château de Maisons hosts “Tous en Piste!,” where ponies prance, carriages roll, and equestrian shows dazzle. Even the littlest listeners can become horse whisperers for a day. And hey, classic car fanatics—make tracks to Domaine de Grosbois for jaw-dropping vintage rides and a musical parade so snazzy you’ll think you’re in a retro movie. No driver’s license required—just a keen eye for chrome.

Culture vultures, listen up! The Fusion Concept hip-hop dance festival grand finale hits the Cirque d’Hiver. Imagine sweat, swagger, and acrobatics that'll make your jaw bounce off the pavement. Over at Parc Astérix, it’s all about family fun, with new rides and special ticket deals to keep every age grinning. For foodies, the Cheese and Wine Fair in Antony wraps up today with epicurean delights guaranteed to blow your beret off.

And for families ready to unleash their inner artists, how about the “Fables Immersives” sensory journey near the Champs-Elysées—where La Fontaine’s tales leap off the page into mind-boggling installations? Or maybe test your wits at the Paradox Museum, which just debuted five new reality-bending experiences plus a Hans & Gretel Café that’s sweeter than a Parisian patisserie.

Onto local news—veering on the practical, Véligo’s launching a special pop-up bike rental hub this weekend in the heart of Paris. So if you fancy cruising along the Seine like a local, check it out for discounted rides and even free pilates sessions. Halle Flachat in Asnières-sur-Seine has reinvented itself—four days of food, music, and eco-fun until tomorrow, so check out this fresh hotspot for culinary stunts and epic people-watching.

For those craving must-do Parisian rites, you can't go wrong with a champagne brunch at the Marriott on the Champs-Elysées, a twilight sound and light show at the Dôme des Invalides, or getting lost in the leafy wonderland of the Fondation Louis Vuitton. Don’t forget to sneak in some free family outings around the Petit Palais if the little ones want a taste of Parisian grandeur without blasting your wallet.

Here’s your Ollie insider tip—when roaming the city, always pop into a corner bakery for a fresh chouquette. It’s the ultimate Paris snack, and locals judge you on your bakery game as much as your football skills. As the old saying goes, “He who hesitates over chouquettes loses.” Trust me, it’s science.

Tomorrow, Paris keeps the party rolling with more art, concerts, and the first taste of autumn’s festival magic. If you want the scoop—think costume exhibitions, quirky expos, and more culinary wizardry—be sure to tune in for my next episode.
