La Ferme de la Villette · Paris • Free
The countryside in Paris, no train ticket required. Feed goats, brush sheep, and try your hand at beekeeping or wool dyeing in this free working farm tucked into the 19th arrondissement.
December 4 at 11am
Domaine National du Palais-Royal · Paris • Free
At noon sharp, a tiny cannon blasts through the hush of the Palais-Royal gardens. This 1786 timekeeping ritual once set all of Paris by the clock, and it still fires for special occasions like clockwork thunder.
May 20 at 10am
Paris • Free
Celebrate biodiversity at one of Paris's most storied green spaces during the nationwide Fête de la Nature. Held each May at the Jardin des Plantes, this free festival transforms the historic botanical garden into a living classroom for nature lovers of all ages.
Paris en Seine - Baignade du Bras Marie · Paris • Free
Take the plunge in the Seine at Bras Marie, a pint-sized swimming spot tucked beneath Pont Louis-Philippe with free entry and views of old Paris.
Jardin des Plantes · Paris
A light festival that transforms the Jardin des Plantes into an after-dark wonderland. Expect illuminated pathways winding through centuries-old trees, glowing installations among seasonal gardens, and the city's historic greenhouses bathed in color.
Goutte d'Or
A neighborhood tears itself from the asphalt: Goutte d'Or's shared gardens throw open their gates for botanical drawing, foraging walks, and film screenings. Urban anthropology, but hands-on and homegrown.
Browse Paris neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

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.
