Summer is in full swing and Paris clearly has more to offer. Outdoor cinema, open-air electro, artistic hikes, or the Tour de France passing by: there's no way you'll be bored this weekend. Here are our favorite tips!

Friday, July 24

We're making resistance... around a great table

Heading to the Les Résistants restaurant, where French producers are celebrated as they should be. An locavore kitchen, seasonal and committed, with beautifully crafted plates and a lovely selection of natural wines: the perfect spot to kick off the weekend in style.

We’re in for some (real) thrills at La Villette

The outdoor movie nights under the stars are back at La Villette, and this 35th edition kicks off with a bang. Until August 16th, the big screen set up on the Triangle lawn will showcase a selection of films themed around “The Call of the Forest”. And this Friday, say goodbye to romantic comedies: it's The Blair Witch Project that will chill the atmosphere. Just the perfect reason to look back over your shoulder behind the trees on the way home.

Let's Dance in the Courtyard of the Château de Vincennes

Who said a castle can't turn into a dance floor? With the Vincennes Estival Club, the Château de Vincennes hosts concerts, DJ sets, screenings, and activities until August 2. An eclectic lineup in a historic setting that’s a delightful change from the usual open-air events.

Let’s set sail… just an hour from Paris

Need to take a breather? Head to Milly-la-Forêt for a hike that’s totally worth it. In the heart of the Trois Pignons massif lies The Cyclop, a spectacular monument crafted by Jean Tinguely. Standing over 22 meters tall, this giant sculpture pops up among the trees and gives the walk a surreal travel vibe. A perfect outing to trade concrete for trails.

We're spending the day dancing at El Hey's open air event

If there's one event you absolutely can't miss this Saturday, it's El Hey at the Cité Fertile. The collective is once again taking over the co-working space in Pantin with an amazing lineup, DJ sets spinning from day to night, and an atmosphere we all adore: free-spirited, musical, and festive. We recommend arriving early... and leaving late.

Let's cheer on the champions at Montmartre

After winning over the crowd for the past two years, the Tour de France is back to conquer Montmartre for its final stage. A spectacular last climb in one of the most beautiful settings of the capital, where the atmosphere is sure to be electric. Bring on the cheers, the bells, and your cameras!

Let’s wrap up the weekend with our toes by the water!

To finish the weekend without rushing back down, let’s head to Le Barboteur, along the banks of the Pantin canal. This week’s Beau Dimanche event welcomes YaYa Shake Shake, with their funky, afrobeat, and sunny pop sounds guaranteed to get everyone dancing on the quay. Great music, a drink on the terrace, and your feet almost in the water:  it’s hard to imagine a better way to wrap up this weekend.
