European Heritage Days - 21 - 22 September

Going on throughout France between the 21st and 22nd of September, but especially spectacular in Paris, buildings usually not open to the public (including the Élysée Palace!) open their doors for all to take a peek inside. You can choose from classic to contemporary buildings so there's definitely a place for everyone. There are also lots of events going on across the weekend so take your pick and get your dose of culture for the month!

For almost 20 years this annual event has been bringing together thousands of nature-loving visitors. Explore and rediscover the green spaces of the French capital over one weekend. In total, over 150 places will be open to the public - the Jardin des Plantes (5th), the Parc Monceau (8th), the Parc Georges Brassens (15th), the Parc de Bercy (12th)... just to name a few! These parks and gardens are offering a rich and varied programme of special events aimed at raising awareness among children and adults about the issues linked to the environment and ecology.  So pop on your comfiest walking shoes and get exploring! The full programme is still to be determined so watch this space!

La Parisienne - 6 - 8 September

Running is a very popular sport and past-time in Paris, maybe because it helps to work off all that delicious French pastry!
