  • Summary

  • Welcome to 'Time IN Paris' on this crisp Monday, November 18, 2024. As the autumn leaves paint the city in vibrant hues, Paris is buzzing with a mix of cultural events, festive preparations, and the usual charm that makes it the City of Light.

    Today, the weather is cool and clear, with a hint of winter in the air, making it perfect for exploring both indoors and outdoors. Here are a few key events to look out for:

    - For music lovers, SUM 41 is performing their farewell concert at the Paris La Défense Arena on Saturday, but if you're in Paris today, you might want to check out some of the intimate classical concerts happening at various stunning venues around the city[2][5].
    - If you're interested in art, the Fine Arts Paris & La Biennale (FAB Paris) is gearing up for its third edition at the Grand Palais from November 22, but you can already start exploring the city's vibrant art scene through the ongoing Paris Photo event at the Grand Palais until November 10[2][4].
    - For a unique experience, don't miss the Climate Sensé immersive simulation at the city, where you can experience a 50-degree environment to raise awareness about climate disruption from November 19 to 21[4].

    In local news, the Christmas illuminations on the Champs-Elysées are about to kick off, setting the city into a festive mood. New restaurant openings and seasonal menus are also popping up around town, including special menus for the upcoming Beaujolais Nouveau celebrations[2][4].

    Must-do activities for the day include a visit to the Louvre, where you can enjoy the masterpieces with reserved tickets, or take a fun tour of Paris by land and water on an amphibious bus. For a hidden gem, explore the Chartres en lumières festival, where the city is illuminated nightly until January 14, 2025[3].

    Here’s a local tip: When navigating Paris, use the Velib bike-sharing system for a quick and eco-friendly way to get around the city. And did you know that the famous Notre Dame Cathedral is preparing for a partial reopening in December, but you can still participate in the candlelight procession on November 15 to mark the re-dedication of the building to the Virgin Mary[3].

    Looking forward to tomorrow, keep an eye out for the Paris Burlesque Show at La Nouvelle Eve, which starts on November 23, and the rugby match between Stade Français and Racing 92 at Stade Jean Bouin on November 24. Tune in tomorrow for more exciting events and activities in the City of Light. Until then, à bientôt
