When many of us consider the best places to book flights to each year, it doesn’t normally take very long for Paris to enter our heads – the quintessentially romantic city of pavement cafes and some of the world’s finest museums and galleries such as the Louvre and the d’Orsay. But what else is happening in Paris over the coming months?
The Marathon de Paris
One of the highest-profile upcoming events in the French capital this year is the Marathon de Paris on April 11th.
This is one of the world’s particularly picturesque marathons, covering the area of the Right Bank from the world-famous Champs-Elysees to the Bois de Vincennes, before heading back towards the Bois de Boulogne along the Left Bank.
Late Night Museums
If that doesn’t sound like your kind of thing, don’t worry – there’s plenty more where that came from. For museum goers, how about La Nuit des Musees on 14th May, which sees the city’s museums opening late for just one night for a feast of special events and entertainment?
Alternatively, you may like the sound of the Fete de la Musique on 21st June, which involves free gigs encompassing a range of musical genres being held right across the country.
Other events that you just can’t miss in Paris over the coming months include late June’s Gay Pride March, the Paris Jazz Festival in Parc Floral de Paris over the months of June and July and “the big one” – the finish of the biggest cycling endurance test of all, Le Tour de France.
