Bonjour, sports lovers and adventure seekers! Welcome to Things to Do in Paris—coming at you live on Saturday, November 8, 2025. I’m Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting guide to all things dazzling, quirky, and utterly Parisian. The city is pulsing today with that unmistakable autumn buzz: a crisp 13°C in the air, café terraces loaded with scarves and laughter, the trees glowing gold along the Seine, and a palpable sense of excitement as Paris launches into another weekend packed with wild events and hidden treasures.

First off, if you woke up with energy to burn, lace up those sneakers—no, really, sneakerheads unite! The Paris Sneaker Festival is dropping at Espace Charenton at 11 a.m. Picture rare kicks, DJ sets, and street food that’ll have you hopping higher than a pair of Air Jordans.

If your soul is more jazz than jump shot, tonight Maison du Danemark is hosting a smooth jazz concert with Øyunn—a vibe so cool, I’d say it’s smoother than a croissant fresh out of the oven. For the night owls who want to raise the dead with their dance moves, it’s Zombie Walk Paris—hundreds will strut from Place de la Bastille at 1 p.m., undead and unfiltered, after a two-year hiatus. Brains are optional, but epic makeup is not.

Families won’t want to miss the Christmas magic starting right now at Disneyland Paris—all the sparkle, shows, and character hugs your heart can handle as Disney’s Enchanted Christmas launches its winter season today. And for the culture buffs—check out Photo Days, a citywide festival transforming galleries into playgrounds of contemporary and classic photography all month. It’s like Instagram, only you can smell fresh paint and overhear someone waxing poetic about shadows and light.

Let’s talk news and fresh Parisian scoops. The city is abuzz about the new festive displays lighting up Boulevard Haussmann—Julien Cohen, the viral pianist behind that Bohemian Rhapsody flashmob, is planning another giant musical surprise with over 300 musicians. If you’re moving around the city today, the Métro is running smoothly, and the new route on Line 14 should make north-south rides speedier than ever. And foodies, take note—a brand-new vegan patisserie, Doux Vivant, just opened in Le Marais, tempting Parisians with éclairs so tasty, even the baguette purists are lining up to taste.

If you want to squeeze every last drop out of this Parisian Saturday, try these Oly-approved specials: stroll the vibrant stalls of the Marché des Enfants Rouges—the city’s oldest covered market, grab a steaming cup of chocolat chaud, and sneak into Musée de la Vie Romantique for a quiet slice of Paris most tourists miss. For an only-in-November twist, book a seat on the Ballon de Paris for a free scientific flight—rise above the rooftops and see the city in all its autumn glory.

Here’s your signature Parisian tip: never judge a bakery by its window display alone. The tiniest, most unassuming boulangerie might have the best pain au chocolat in town—Parisians will cross three arrondissements for their favorite!

Tomorrow, the city stays wild—look out for the Women’s Empowerment Meetup, secret jazz at Caveau du M, and the return of the legendary Minimaxxx secondhand sale where every piece is a steal. Trust me, you won’t want to miss out.
