Let's take a reading break over a good cup of coffee
A beloved spot among Parisians, the Used Book Café is also known worldwide as it just snagged the second place on the podium for the most beautiful café-bookstores in the world at the beginning of September 2025. Here, second-hand books only adorn the walls, creating that cosy atmosphere we can’t get enough of. Pair it all with a steaming drink and one of the seasonal delights from the menu, and you’ve got the perfect setup for a well-crafted autumn day.

We're going to see Hooverphonic on the stage of the Élysée Montmartre
Boosted by "2Wicky" in the soundtrack of Stealing Beauty (Bernardo Bertolucci, 1996), Hooverphonic became one of the most innovative bands of their time. Especially after the 2000s, with the release of The Magnificent Tree, featuring iconic tracks like "Mad About You" and "Vinegar & Salt", a magnificent tribute to the band. It's an album celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, celebrated with a European tour, making a stop in Paris at the Élysée Montmartre.

Celebrating the Grape Harvest in Montmartre
This is one of those Parisian events you simply can't miss, no matter the weather—whether it rains (which is quite possible), blows, or snows (less likely, but you never know). This week, the traditional Grape Harvest Festival in Montmartre makes its grand return to the hill for five days of celebrations, tastings in moderation, and discoveries. And the theme for this 2025 edition rings out loud and clear: youth. Through a cultural, artistic, sporting, and of course, gastronomic program, the Grape Harvest Festival celebrates...and to celebrate the dynamism and vitality that uplift the neighborhood and energize everyone, young and old alike, who bring it to life.

Falling in love with dance again
After captivating audiences at the Châtelet, Salle Pleyel, and much of the French-speaking world, Léo Walk is back in Paris. With Maison d’en face, the contemporary dance prodigy and his company La Marche Bleue are taking over the 13e Art Theatre for 12 emotionally charged performances. Set in a dreamy dining room decor, bodies brush against each other, love, and part ways... choreographies of everyday life where poetry meets fragility. A sensitive and magnetic work that explores human connections as a mirror of our time.
