This Weekend Must See (August 30-31, 2025)
Option 1: On Saturday, August 30, 2025, the Saint-Ouen town hall will conclude its summer season with a spectacular fireworks show.
After over two months of l'Été Audonien, filled with water games, swimming, free activities, and open-air cinema, it’s time to bid farewell to summer with one final celebration.
Option 2: Paris is once again preparing to celebrate the Annual Festival of Lord Ganesh, returning on August 31, 2025, in the 18th arrondissement.
This colorful and spiritual event, organized each year by the Sri Manicka Vinayakar Alayam temple—the largest Hindu temple in France—honors the elephant-headed god beloved by millions around the world. Lord Ganesh, son of Shiva and Parvati, is revered as the symbol of love, wisdom, and new beginnings.
The festival in Paris begins with sacred rituals at the temple, followed by a vibrant procession through the streets of La Chapelle. A statue of Ganesh, richly adorned and carried on a decorated float, leads the parade, accompanied by music, offerings, and dancers. His brother Muruga joins the celebration, and together they are believed to bring blessings to all who gather along the route. With its blend of devotion, tradition, and dazzling pageantry, the Festival of Ganesh is one of the capital’s most unique annual events, bringing a touch of South Indian culture and spirituality to the heart of Paris.
Option 3: Enjoy Paris under the stars this spring and summer 2025 with the city’s top open-air film festivals.
Free or low-cost screenings feature cult classics, new releases, comedies, and animated favorites in unique settings—from Parc de la Villette’s lawns to hidden urban gardens. Bring friends or family, relax, and discover cinema in a magical outdoor atmosphere.

Consider this your invitation to travel back in time to the very oldest part of Paris, where the city began. The area around Notre Dame is filled with landmarks, making it a great place for kids to learn about Paris outside a museum - the real Paris.
This local-led walking tour is a laid-back way for families to explore the heart of Paris.
As you walk along the river, you’ll learn about its unique bridges and hidden gardens. Your guide will explain how Paris was born from the Seine and how its two sides make up an important part of the city's character.
As you listen to the stories and your guide points out sights, soak up those incredible riverfront views. You’ll even see the famous Louvre Pyramid.
Your Musée d'Orsay ticket is optional. If you have little tykes, they may not be up for a museum. No worries. You can opt for a narrated boat ride on the Seine instead (or in addition). But older kids will enjoy the beautiful art inside this museum that’s a lot more manageable than the Louvre for families — not nearly as large or as crowded. And you get to see some of the most quintessential French art, like Monet’s water lilies.
Our top-rated Latin Quarter is a great introduction to Paris for kids of all ages.
Led by a friendly local guide, you’ll stroll cobblestone streets, pass by charming cafes, discover historic gems like the Saint Michel Fountain, and get to know a classic corner of the city. It’s a great way for kids to soak up the Paris atmosphere - lively, colorful, and full of rich details.
Along the way, kids learn about famous landmarks they might know from school (like Notre Dame) and the lesser-known gems (like the Instagrammable bookshop Shakespeare and Company). You’ll even see the Panthéon - no, not the one in Rome! Your guide will explain all.
This tour ends at the Luxembourg Gardens where families can run free in the wide-open spaces or race a toy sailboat, a Parisian tradition.
With a mix of history, architecture, and local flavor, this Latin Quarter tour is a great way for families to explore Paris beyond the big museums while keeping young travelers engaged from start to finish.
This guided Eiffel Tower tour makes visiting Paris’ most famous landmark easy, educational, and exciting for the whole family.

Skip the long stairs and go straight to the second floor, where your guide helps you spot famous sights like Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the golden dome of Les Invalides from up high.
Kids love picking out landmarks from above. Think of it as a real-life treasure hunt across the city skyline. Your guide will also share practical tips to make your visit better: snacks, more to see in Paris, fun activities for kids.
This is an adventure-filled, private Louvre tour for kids. Join an expert guide and follow an engaging activity book full of fun games and challenges completed throughout the tour with prizes to be won.
