Last weekend before the festivities begin, at least for some! So it’s time to rush to finalize your gift list or, on the other hand, to chill in the city looking for a show, a restaurant, or a great movie that’s worth seeing.

We're talking about sex with Bérengère Krief at the Théâtre de l’Oeuvre

What’s for sure is that one hour together will always be good. » In her latest show, comedian Bérengère Krief explores our relationship with sex and the place of desire in our education. A new, sensitive, and deeply funny perspective on sex awaits you at the Théâtre de l’Oeuvre—don’t miss it!

Enjoy it as a döner, in a durüm (flatbread), or in a bowl version, but also in a vegetarian version with grilled halloumi or vegan with plenty of vegetables. The little extra?

We're joining the biggest gathering of Santa Clauses

At the end of this year, the tallest building in Paris has taken on an exciting challenge: to break the world record for the largest gathering of Santa and Mrs. Clauses, but at high altitude. Ready to join the parade? It’s happening this Saturday at the Paris Montparnasse Observatory, at 210 m above sea level. The fun part is that absolutely everyone can contribute to the victory. All you need to do is don your Santa or Mrs. Claus outfit – suit, red hat, white beard (or not), boots... leather, elf shoe covers, in short, be creative – and head over to Montparnasse. For the occasion, access will be free from 12 PM to 3 PM for those who whip out their best costume. The Observatory promises to donate the equivalent of the free ticket to the association Les Petits Princes, which makes the wishes of sick children and teenagers come true.
