1. The most classic: Notre-Dame de Paris

There you have it, 5 years after the fire that ravaged its spire, and endless construction work, the most iconic monument in Paris (well, after the Eiffel Tower) should reopen its doors this year. So don't get too excited, it won't be until next December. But hey, we think it's still a pretty nice Christmas present to look forward to, and it will especially please the tourists.

2. The Sportiest: Adidas Arena

The capital has been getting into the sporting spirit lately, with announcements, measures, and long-lasting works. And among them, the construction of a new stadium, the Adidas Arena, and its vegetated roof of over 6000 sqm. The immense venue will host sports events, of course, but also incredible concerts and shows. And it's the rapper Zola who will inaugurate the artistic aspect of the scene in May, following different sports events starting next month!

3. The most artistic: The Grand Palais

After almost 3 years of work, the ancestor of the Grand Palais Ephémère is finally ready to reopen (partially) its doors. And for a good reason, this iconic place of fine arts will also host fencing and taekwondo events during the 2024 Olympics. But starting from September, it should return to its primary function with cultural events, before fully resuming its functions in 2025 with the inauguration of the new exhibition galleries. A three-step approach, therefore, allowing us to gradually rediscover this magnificent venue.The place, without a doubt.

5. The Cinemaphile's Favorite: The Geode

Undoubtedly, The Geode is the most unique cinema in Paris. The legendary Geode, located in the heart of Parc de la Villette, turns its spotlights on in a brand-new state-of-the-art theater. And we can assure you that its 1000 m2 screen is just as impressive as the exterior of this dome over 36 meters high. This exceptional space will return to its original purpose, which is educating the public, including the screening of numerous documentaries in addition to films and short films.
