Springtime in Paris: Ecotrail, Vertical Eiffel, and Afro-Descendant Art at the Pompidou
Welcome to 'Things to Do in Paris' on this sunny Sunday, March 23, 2025 As the city awakens from its winter slumber, Paris is buzzing with the first hints of spring. The air is crisp, the sun is shining, and the vibe is vibrant.
Today, Paris is alive with a variety of exciting events that cater to all interests. For the outdoor enthusiasts, the Ecotrail is taking place on the western outskirts of Paris, offering races of 80km, 45km, 10km, and even Nordic walking[1][3][5].
If you're in the mood for something more adrenaline-pumping, head to the Eiffel Tower for La Verticale de la Tour Eiffel, the fifth annual Vertical Race where athletes will ascend the 1,665 steps of the iconic landmark[3].
For those who love horses and elegance, the prestigious equestrian competition Saut Hermès is returning to the Grand Palais, featuring original shows and elite international jumping competitions[1][5].
In the realm of culture, the Centre Pompidou is hosting the major exhibition "Paris Noir, Circulations artistiques, luttes anticoloniales 1950-2000," which showcases the works of 150 Afro-descendant artists from Africa and the Americas[1].
On the music front, March is a great time to enjoy concerts by candlelight at Sainte-Chapelle or catch performances by popular artists at top music halls and arenas[5].
In local news, the city is abuzz with new restaurant openings, especially in the trendy Le Marais neighborhood. Public transit updates include the continued expansion of the Paris Metro lines, making it easier than ever to navigate the city.
For must-do activities today, consider taking a Hop On/Hop Off Bus tour to get a panoramic view of Paris's top sights, or embark on a guided walking tour of Montmartre to explore its charming streets and historic sites. If you're looking for something unique, visit the Jardin des Plantes for the "One Thousand and One Orchids Show," though note that this event ends on March 10, so you might have missed it this year, but it's a great tip for future visits[2][4][5].
Here’s a local tip: To navigate like a Parisian, make sure to use the nearest Métro station and explore the neighborhood parks and small markets near your hotel. These hidden gems offer a genuine taste of Parisian life and are perfect for recovering from jet lag or simply enjoying the local atmosphere[2].
As the day comes to a close, look forward to tomorrow's events, such as the Printemps du Cinéma film festival, which kicks off on March 23 and features a variety of foreign films in small cinemas around Paris. Or, if you're interested in documentaries, the Cinéma du Réel - International Documentary Film Festival is also underway[3].
Tune in tomorrow for more exciting things to do in Paris and to stay updated on the city's latest happenings. Until then, enjoy the City of Light and all it has to offer
