Yay for 3-day weekends (especially when it leads to a 4-day workweek)! Everyone is in a good mood and excited to do lots of fun stuff. But sometimes it can be tough to decide on what to do with so many choices in the city. And since Easter weekend is at the end of the month this year, money might be a bit tight for some. So, to lend a helping hand, we discovered 5 free places to check out in the capital.


Lafayette Anticipations

The foundation welcomes you to an incredible collective exhibition that questions our relationship with the future, at a time when our tomorrows are increasingly uncertain. Contemporary and historical works come together to invite us to reflect, but also to dream or to travel, bringing together over 30 artists with different inspirations (and aspirations). A unique exhibition that lays the foundation for a common future, all together.

The Perfume Museum

Situated right next to the Opéra Garnier, the Grand Musée du Parfum Fragonard enchants your senses and makes your nostrils tingle. From the origin of perfume to its production, discover all the secrets behind this unique and prestigious craft. It's also a unique opportunity to learn about the fascinating profession of a "nose," by exploring the myriad of scents used in the creation of numerous fragrances.

The Arenas of Lutetia

There is probably no need to introduce this iconic place in the capital, one of the last Gallo-Roman remains (along with the Cluny thermal baths). Yet, for those who have not yet ventured there, it's worth it. Really. Classified as Historical Monuments, the Arenas and the surrounding park offer you a journey through time that is as informative as it is soothing, especially if the sun decides to make an appearance!

The Memorial of the Shoah

The museum (which is also a documentation center) is waiting for you for a moving historic moment. And right now, this place of memory also offers you the chance to discover an exhibit about the Olympic Games (showing that no one can escape it). A very interesting journey that raises questions about the various societal issues of the biggest global sporting event, and the role it can play in rivalries between nations.
