  • Welcome to 'Time IN Paris' on this crisp Saturday, November 16, 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 winter's chill in the air, setting the perfect backdrop for a day out. Here are a few key events that you won't want to miss:

    - For art enthusiasts, the free street-art festival at the Poste du Louvre is a must-visit, featuring paintings, sculptures, and live performances by over 15 artists from November 16 to 24[3][5].
    - If you're looking for some adrenaline, head to the La Défense Arena for the Paris Supercross, where the best international supercross riders will be in action[2][5].
    - For families and horse racing fans, the Hippodrome d'Auteuil hosts the '48H de l'Obstacle', a spectacular season finale with plenty of entertainment and races[2][3].

    In local news, the city is abuzz with the upcoming Christmas markets and the unveiling of the department stores' spectacular window displays. For foodies, keep an eye out for new restaurant openings, especially around the festive season.

    Must-do activities for the day include a visit to the Grand Palais for the 'Paris Photo' exhibition, which features art photography from around the world[2][4]. Take a stroll along the Avenue des Champs-Elysées to enjoy the traditional illuminations, and don't miss the historic immersive sound and light show at the church of Saint-Sulpice, 'Paris, Cœur de lumières'[2].

    Here’s a local tip: To navigate like a Parisian, use the Velib bike-sharing service to zip around the city, especially during peak hours when traffic can be heavy.

    Before we wrap up, here’s a sneak peek into tomorrow’s events: Catch the concert by Cigarettes After Sex at the Accor Arena or enjoy the classical music of Vivaldi's Four Seasons at the Saint-Germain-des-Pres Church[4]. Stay tuned for more exciting updates and activities in the City of Light.
