Paris is buzzing this week, so if you’re in the city and wondering what to do, you’ve picked the perfect moment. Let’s start with today and the next couple of days. According to Paris Perfect and Paris Insiders Guide, Taste of Paris is in full swing at the Grand Palais from May 21st to 24th.

It’s a fun excuse to dress up a little, place a small bet, and picnic in the stands like a local. Around the same time, Paris Je T’aime and Hip Paris also point to smaller neighborhood festivals, street‑art events along Canal Saint‑Martin, and block‑party style concerts in the Bastille and Oberkampf areas, where bars spill onto the sidewalks and live bands play late into the night.
