Thu, May 6 · 10:00 AM
Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés · Saint-Germain-des-Prés • € 795
Skip the museum crowds and go straight to where Parisian art actually lives. An art expert leads you through Rue de Seine's legendary galleries, where Picasso painted and gallerists still shape what the world calls important.
Thu, May 6 · 9:30 AM
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.
Thu, May 6 · 12:00 PM
Pont Neuf · Saint-Germain-des-Prés • € 420-€ 520
See Paris through a fashion insider's eyes. Miss Parisette's all-female team leads a private stroll past Louis Vuitton, Azzedine Alaïa, and La Samaritaine, with Eiffel Tower views from the city's oldest bridge.
Thu, May 6 · 9:00 AM
8 Rue du Cardinal Guibert · Montmartre • € 100
Queer Paris comes alive on this three-hour wander through Montmartre, Le Marais, and the Latin Quarter. Expect history, games, and the stories of LGBTQ+ icons who shaped the city.
Every day
Fonds Enki Bilal · Le Marais
Fifty years of dystopian daydreams, all under one roof. Enki Bilal's new foundation opens with 200+ works spanning comics, painting, and film: futures that feel uncomfortably plausible.
Thu, May 6 · 7:00 PM
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
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.
Every day
Academy Des Beaux-Arts · Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Guillaume Herbaut's award-winning photographs go beyond the rubble to capture Ukraine's invisible scars: grief, displacement, and the quiet psychological toll of war on soldiers and civilians alike. Sobering, necessary viewing.
Every day
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
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.
Thu, May 6 · 8:30 PM
Vieux Belleville · Paris • $$$
Step back into old Paris at this weekly sing-along where a barrel organ sets the tune and strangers become friends. Expect communal tables, hearty French dishes, and a warm, unpretentious atmosphere that feels like a family gathering.
Thu, May 6 · 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.
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.
