Musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet · Paris
Learn Korean culture the playful way: fold Ddakji paper squares and roll the sticks in Yut nori, a traditional board game, right among the museum's Asian treasures. It's hands-on history that works for curious kids and adults alike.
April 6 at 10am
Paris Philharmonic · 19th Arr. • 18 €
Spend a day singing in harmony with voices from across the globe. This hands-on workshop explores vocal traditions from another culture, teaching unison and polyphonic songs while diving into the language and musical specificities that make each tradition unique.
Les Caves du Louvre · Paris
Sip French wine in King Louis XV's former royal cellars. A sommelier guides you through tastings in atmospheric cave tunnels, teaching you to identify flavors and what you actually like.
Cave Arthus et Jean - Caviste/Dégustation - Paris 3ème Marais · Paris • 39 €
Arthus turns wine education into a party, not a lecture. Taste three French wines in a cozy Marais cave while a warm, hilarious host explains terroir, grape varieties, and why that Burgundy tastes like dirt (in the best way). Optional cheese and charcuterie boards round out the savoir-faire.
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.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
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.
