  • Welcome to 'Time IN Paris' on this crisp Friday, November 22, 2024. As the autumn leaves paint the city in vibrant hues, Paris is buzzing with a plethora of exciting events and activities.

    Today, the city is greeted by mild temperatures and a hint of holiday spirit in the air. Here are a few key events that you won't want to miss:

    - For music lovers, the Candlelight Concert at Saint-Ephrem Church is a must-attend, featuring the works of Chopin, Schubert, Satie, and Beethoven[1].
    - Families can enjoy a fun-filled weekend at Little Villette, where a juggling and circus arts event is taking place, perfect for kids and adults alike[3].
    - If you're in the mood for something unique, the free jewelry exhibition at Hôtel de Mercy-Argenteau, which tells the story of pearls from their origins to their use in jewelry, is definitely worth a visit[3].

    In local news, the Christmas illuminations on the Champs-Elysées are set to kick off on November 24, marking the beginning of the holiday season. The Jardin des Tuileries Christmas Market is already open, offering a festive atmosphere, rides, and gourmet treats[3].

    For a must-do activity today, consider taking a stroll through the Jardin des Tuileries Christmas Market or visiting the Louvre, which is open despite the All Saints Day holiday[2]. For a hidden gem, explore the La Coulée Verte de Paris, an unusual and hidden walk from Bastille to Vincennes that offers a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle[3].

    Here’s a local tip: When navigating Paris, use the Velib bike-sharing system for a quick and environmentally friendly way to get around the city. Plus, did you know that the famous Parisian department stores unveil their spectacular holiday window displays around mid-November? Make sure to check them out for a dose of festive magic[1].

    Looking ahead to tomorrow, don’t miss the launch of the Christmas illuminations on the Champs-Elysées, where Tony Estanguet will kick off the event, and the free urban art festival at the Poste du Louvre, featuring works by 18 street artists[3].

    Tune in tomorrow for more exciting events and tips on how to make the most of your time in Paris. Until then, à bientôt
