Academy Des Beaux-Arts · Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Every day
Hôtel des Invalides · 7th Arr. • 28 €
The Dôme des Invalides becomes the show after dark: lasers, orchestral music, and 3D mapping sweep across its arches and chapels, circling Napoleon's tomb in a 50-minute spectacle you experience on your feet.
Every day
Théâtre du Palais-Royal · Paris
Coal dust, carrier pigeons, and accordion waltzes: this Molière-nominated hit brings a 1950s mining town to life. Two friends, one orchestra, and an arrival that changes everything.
Tue, Jul 13 · 9:00 PM
Poche-Montparnasse Theatre · Montparnasse • 28 €
Balzac skewers married life and it's still painfully funny. Watch Caroline and Adolphe bicker, scheme, and negotiate their way through matrimony's small humiliations, from the wedding night to the dreaded mother-in-law.

Théâtre des Mathurins · Opéra • 30 €
By day Judith, by night DJ Mademoiselle Tremblecul: a sequin-caped dancefloor superheroine whose glitter-soaked parties hit a snag when she suddenly yearns for motherhood. A wild, hilarious, and moving odyssey blending dance, song, and combat sports.
Every day
Comédie & Studio des Champs-Elysées · Paris • 20-69 €
A virus is making the whole world foolish, and the only cure might be staying home with someone you can barely stand. Audrey Schebat's sharp satire stars Eric Elmosnino and Barbara Schulz in an intimate jewel box of a theater.

Start with the exhibition or performance that interests you, then build the afternoon around it. Check the temporary exhibitions at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, or the performance programme at Palais Garnier. One show and time to talk about it over dinner makes a good plan.
Tell me that when you ask. I’d start with exhibitions, live music, or dance. For theatre, comedy, and talks, check the performance language and whether surtitles are available before booking. An English description doesn’t necessarily mean an English-language show.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
