About this listen

 Welcome to 'Things to do in Paris' on this vibrant Saturday, June 28, 2025 As you step out into the City of Light, you're greeted by the warm summer skies and a buzz of excitement that only June in Paris can offer. The weather is perfect, with clear skies and a gentle breeze, setting the stage for a day filled with endless possibilities.

Today, Paris is alive with a multitude of events that cater to every interest. One of the highlights is the **Paris Gay Pride Parade (Marche des Fiertés)**, which kicks off at 12:30 pm. This colorful and festive event is a celebration of diversity and inclusivity, featuring marchers, floats, and live performances. If you're near the Place de la Nation, don't miss the Grand Podium organized as part of the parade, featuring acts like Nicky Doll and Afro Queer Rising[2][4][5].

For those looking for a more family-oriented outing, the **Fête de la Lavande 2025** is a must-visit. Located at the Seine Aval Achères/Maisons-Laffitte site, this event offers pony rides, free workshops, food trucks, and even cruises on the Seine. It's a perfect way to spend the day with your loved ones in a festive and scenic setting[5].

If you're in the mood for something cultural and literary, head over to the Bibliothèque nationale de France - site Richelieu, where Miu Miu is hosting its Summer Reads pop-up. Here, you can pick up free novels written by visionary authors, all given a stylish Miu Miu makeover[5].

In terms of local news, Temple & Chapon at the Experimental Marais hotel has just unveiled its New York-style brunch, available every Saturday and Sunday. This is a great spot to start your day with a delicious meal in a trendy setting[5].

For must-do activities today, consider visiting the **Grand Palais** or the **Palais de la Découverte**, both of which have recently reopened and offer a wealth of cultural and scientific exhibitions. If you're looking for something unique, the **Rendez-vous aux jardins** event, though it took place earlier in June, has left many of the city's parks and gardens in full bloom, making them perfect for a leisurely stroll[3].

Here’s a local tip: To navigate like a true Parisian, use the Velib bike-sharing service to get around the city. Not only is it eco-friendly, but it also allows you to experience Paris from a different perspective.

As the day winds down, keep an eye out for tomorrow's events. The **Solidays** festival, happening from June 27 to 29, promises an incredible lineup of artists like Sean Paul and Meute at the Hippodrome de Longchamp. Make sure to tune in tomorrow for more updates and insider tips on how to make the most of your time in this enchanting city.

Until then, enjoy every moment of your Parisian adventure
