V86M+M4 Paris · 1st Arr. • € 0-€ 300
The Louvre, but make it kinky. This adults-only tour traces bondage, martyrdom, and the veneration of pain through the museum's masterpieces, decoding what "passion" really meant to the artists.
Every day
Hôtel des Invalides · 7th Arr.
The gilded dome of Invalides becomes a canvas for light. AURA floods the monument with orchestral sound and video mapping, turning 3,500 square meters of stone into a luminous after-hours spectacle.
Every day from Sep. 29 to Jan. 31
Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand · Bercy
Eighty years of Japan through a hundred lenses: post-war photojournalism, theatrical staged bodies, and Zen-tinged minimalism drawn from the BnF's world-class collection. Mostly black and white, quietly mesmerizing.
Every day at 10am
Petit Palais · Invalides • Free
Street art crashes a Belle Époque palace. Seventy-five artists, including Invader and Vhils, install 200 works among the Petit Palais's permanent collections, and entry won't cost a cent.

Musée du Luxembourg · 6th Arr. • Entrée 14€, tarif réduit 10€, moins de 16 ans gratuit

Théâtre Antoine-Simone Berriau · Faubourg Saint-Martin • 76 €
A dinner party implodes when one guest laughs at the worst possible moment. Claudia Tagbo and Florent Peyre star in this sharp comedy dissecting how humor can make or break relationships.

The Comedy Club · Paris • $10.95-$24.95

Every day at 9pm
Madame Arthur · Paris • 20 €
Madame Arthur throws Paris's most gloriously unhinged cabaret. Expect cult French hits, wicked audience improv, and transvestite performers serving absurdity and joy in a standing-room-only space that feels like a private party.
Every day at 8pm from May 25 to Dec. 31
Le Grenier du Rire · Paris • 80 €
Step into a piece of Parisian history at this 42-seat cabaret that's been serving laughter since 1979. Settle in for a proper French dinner, then watch comedians and magicians take the tiny stage for a night of old-school charm.

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.
