 Welcome to 'Things to do in Paris' on this sunny Sunday, June 29, 2025 As you step out into the City of Light, you're greeted by warm summer skies and a vibrant atmosphere that's perfect for exploring. The air is crisp, and the city is buzzing with excitement, making it an ideal day to immerse yourself in all that Paris has to offer.

Today, Paris is transformed into a kaleidoscope of cultural, musical, and festive events. Let's start with the **Festival des Places**, where the Place d'Italie is turned into a living stage. Enjoy a free day of dance, music, and performances that will keep you entertained from morning till evening.

For those who love theater, head over to the Théâtre des Variétés, where a refreshing version of **My Fair Lady** is being performed by 48 young talents from the École de Comédie Musicale de Paris. Catch the exceptional performances tonight or tomorrow at 8 p.m.

If you're curious about international flavors, don't miss the **Goûtez la Corée** pop-up at SEOUL LAB in the 11th arrondissement. This event offers a free admission to discover traditional Korean spirits and savory flavors, a perfect blend of culture and cuisine.

For families and pet lovers, although the **World Day Against Pet Abandonment** was yesterday, the Parc de Bercy is still a great place to visit, especially if you're looking for a leisurely stroll or a fun day out with your pet.

In local news, the Grand Palais and the Palais de la Découverte have recently reopened, offering a wealth of new exhibitions and interactive experiences. For those interested in street style culture, keep an eye out for upcoming events like the **Freestyle** showcase, which celebrates street style from every angle.

Now, let's talk about some must-do activities for the day. Start your morning with a visit to the iconic **Île de la Cité**, where you can marvel at the Gothic beauty of Notre-Dame Cathedral, the stunning stained glass windows of Sainte Chapelle, and the historic Conciergerie. For a panoramic view of the city, hop on the **Hop On/Hop Off Bus**, which will take you past top sights like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum.

Here’s a local tip: to navigate like a Parisian, use the efficient public transit system, but also take time to wander through the charming side streets and discover hidden gems like quaint cafes and local markets.

As the day winds down, consider enjoying the nightlife by heading to the **Hippodrome de Longchamp**, where the Solidays festival is wrapping up its weekend of music and solidarity. Though it's the last day, the energy will still be electric.

Looking forward to tomorrow? Be sure to tune in for more updates, as Paris always has something new and exciting around the corner. Whether it's a concert, a festival, or a new exhibition, there's always a reason to fall in love with this city all over again.

Until next time, à bientôt, and enjoy your day in Paris
