We're getting in the mood by belting out Céline Dion at the top of our lungs

This Saturday, September 12, the international superstar will officially kick off her series of shows at La Plénitude Arena. So to get ready — or to lift your spirits a little if you weren't lucky enough to snag your tickets — the city of Paris is inviting you to Stalingrad for a karaoke like no other. Here's what's happening: two sessions that can welcome no fewer than 10,000 people, at 4pm and 7pm, with each one featuring: DJ sets, group karaoke sing-alongs and lots of other surprises, all completely free! Just a heads up though — registration is required!>

performance with Polyphone at La Javelle 

Just a few weeks after performing at Better'Rave Festival, Polyphone is back on the Paris music scene, at La Javelle to be precise, ready to get us dancing, singing, and most importantly, help us forget about last week. With these five passionate friends, you'll find yourself swept up in rock-indie-pop-electronic sounds that'll have you moving in no time. The concert will be followed by a DJ set from Not My Lover to keep the night going strong!

We're treating ourselves to a culinary world tour

Throughout the weekend, Place de la Concorde is hosting the 10th International Village of Gastronomy. A unique opportunity to extend your vacation a little longer by taking your taste buds on a journey, thanks to stalls representing more than 80 different countries. This edition is sponsored by none other than the incredible Alain Ducasse, who is putting Italy in the spotlight to celebrate

the inscription of Cucina Italiana in UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage. And as the cherry on top, for the very first time this year, the Village will host the very first market of French medal-winning producers, to discover the best of French craftsmanship and artisanal expertise.

We Let Ourselves Be Moved at Folie Théâtre 

Music echoes through the club where Sara works in the 1980s. There, she meets Hugo, a funny and endearing young man. To the tunes of Bowie and Patti Smith, they grow closer, fall in love and live a daily life filled with melodies, dancing and laughter. The perfect romantic comedy, you might think, until illness turns everything upside down… A touching performance that addresses breast cancer with grace and emotion.

Rediscovering Korean street food

At Dongné, one of the first restaurants to bring Korean street food to the capital, we taste the country's greatest classics. Bibimbap, kimbap, fried chicken or tteokbokki—in addition to being prepared in an extremely authentic way, the dishes are truly excellent. In every plate, you'll find real care taken with seasoning, to flavor and enhance every bite. Our favorites? The Jeyuk Bibimbap, withmarinated pork with gochujang, and kimmali, these sweet potato vermicelli fritters wrapped in a sheet of nori. Absolutely delicious!

Rethinking femininity through photography

To make the most of this exhibition's final day

spectacular, we're heading to the MEP where Camille Vivier redefines the female body in all its forms. From shot to shot, she plays with codes to shake up our certainties and celebrate a raw, textured strength, almost tangible. Flesh dialogues with inanimate objects, to provoke and question. With nearly a hundred works brought together, this exhibition traces twenty-five years of a fascinating career, spent flirting between sharp fashion editorials and the purest underground art. A must-see retrospective for those who ran out of time to catch it this summer.
