Did you think Paris was sad and empty in August? Let us show you just the opposite with a multitude of activities to do and events to attend starting this weekend!


Friday, August 8

We're having an outdoor movie night in the 13th!

The season for outdoor cinemas is still going strong, and this weekend, we’re heading to the 13th as part of Ciné Quartier 13. In the heart of the Choisy Park, once the sun sets, you'll get to enjoy a screening of one of the most talked-about films in recent years: The Animal Kingdom. Directed by Thomas Cailley, this feature film stars Romain Duris and Paul Kircher, a father-son duo fighting to escape an epidemic that turns people into animals. And guess what? The screening is free and open to all!

We're rocking out at the AC/DC pop-up!

This is one of the most eagerly awaited music events of the year. On August 9 and 13, the legendary band AC/DC will be in the capital for two spectacular concerts at the Stade de France. And to celebrate, the band members have announced the opening of a special pop-up shop just for their visit: PWR/UP Pop-up. The lineup features collectible items, concert posters specially designed for Paris, rare vinyls, and even the chance to snap a photo with the original stage cannon used during the band’s world tour in 1988, available from August 8 to 13.

The institution takes you on a journey alongside the haenyeo, those mysterious free-diving women from Jeju Island. It's a true immersion into the heart of this volcanic island in southern Korea, a land that is both wild, spiritual, and filled with centuries of traditions.Jeju Island, living with the sea unveils a rare maritime culture, shaped by extraordinary women whose quiet strength and solidarity defy winds and tides. And with the warmth surrounding it, you can't help but feel tempted to take a dip!

We’re going to see a comedy at the Lepic Theatre 

Béatrice is a young psychologist appointed by the Ministry of National Education who arrives at a preschool alongside three teachers overwhelmed by their daily routines and jobs. And let's just say that with these three colorful personalities, there won't be a shortage of work for Béatrice ! A play that is both funny and a bit crazy, perfect to catch on a Sunday afternoon before the school year starts.
