  • April in Paris is always a good idea, but this week might just be extraordinary! As the city awakens from its winter slumber, the bustling streets are adorned with cherry blossoms and eager Parisians ready to embrace the vibrant culture. Here’s your friendly guide to what’s happening in Paris from April 21 through the weekend.

    Start your week by indulging in a quintessential French experience with the Paris Tap Festival. Kicking off today at the Théâtre de Paris, this annual event celebrates the art of tap dancing with performances, workshops, and even a chance to showcase your own skills. Expect high-energy performances from renowned artists like Fabrice Martin and Roxane Butterfly.

    For art enthusiasts, the Musée d'Orsay is opening its much-anticipated exhibition “Reflections of Impressionism.” Running through September, it explores the interplay of light and shadow in Impressionist masterpieces. Enhanced by modern digital technology, this unique exhibition allows you to step inside paintings by Monet, Degas, and their contemporaries.

    If music is more your jam, venture over to the Montmartre Jazz Festival. Starting tomorrow, the cobblestone streets and intimate cafés of this famous district will be filled with live jazz performances. Catch iconic saxophonist Émilie Jacquet on Wednesday evening at La Cigale, or head to Le Trianon for a cozy late-night set on Friday.

    Thursday marks UNESCO's World Heritage Day, and Paris is the stage for a special celebration. Many historic sites, including Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Palace of Versailles, are offering free entry and guided tours. Delve deep into the rich history behind these landmarks while enjoying interactive activities designed for all ages.

    Fashion enthusiasts won't want to miss the Paris Vintage Market at Carreau du Temple this weekend. Running Saturday and Sunday, it promises an eclectic mix of retro finds, from haute couture to kitsch accessories. With over 100 vendors present, you'll be sure to find the perfect piece to complement your style.

    Why not spend your Saturday night beneath the stars at the Parc de la Villette? The open-air cinema kicks off its season with a screening of “Amélie.” Snuggle up on the grass with a warm blanket and a baguette in hand, as the charming tale of Montmartre’s favourite do-gooder plays on the big screen.

    End the week on a leisurely note with a Sunday stroll through the Jardin des Plantes. The annual Spring Blossoms Festival is in full swing, featuring guided botanical tours, children’s workshops, and vibrant flower displays that burst in every color imaginable. A perfect concluding act for a week brimmed with creativity and inspiration.

    Whether you’re tapping your feet at a festival or tracing the brushstrokes of a master at the Orsay, Paris offers an enchanting array of activities this week. Embrace the joie de vivre and let the City of Light illuminate your days with its kaleidoscope of events!
