5 Events in 8th Arr. - Élysée That You Shouldn't Miss

October 24, 2021 Alida England

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Bastille Day

The Bastille Day is the 14th of July. It is the French National Day and can be celebrated all over France. The Grand Parade can be seen in Paris : France Police, Air Force, Navy and Army parade on the famous Champs-Elysées Avenue. And the climax is a great fireworks display in the evening, at the Eiffel Tower.

it was 4 years ago when we were in Paris for Le Quatorze Julliet and it was an amazing day from start to finish. I spent many summers in France during my childhood and experienced the celebrations in various small french villages and Orleans so I wanted my sons to get an idea of what the day was about. We were staying with our friends in Paris and we left early and joined the crowds on the Metro to head to the Champs Elysees to watch the parade.. it was a long day standing and such crowds.. but the whole day was filled with things to see and do. The parade was nothing like anything we had witnessed before with all aspects of the forces represented - the President led the parade and there was everything from missiles paraded down the street to parachutists landing from a plane! The Pompiers (Fire brigade were also honoured for the work that they do... and the sense of national pride was evident. Uniformed officers were happy to pose for photos and the opportunity to check out the tanks etc.. the in the evening the light show at the Eiffel Tower. Honestly, if you are fortunate to be in Paris for this event it's worth braving the crowds (I personally hate that sort of environment but I had a fanatastic day)

White Night

When the French spend a sleepless night, they call it a nuit blanche (white night). And you're unlikely to get much kip during Paris’s annual Nuit Blanche on the first Saturday of October. Special routes all across the city are lined with vast art installations, music, fireworks, and light shows. The museums are open all night too, and the metro runs round the clock for this terrific dusk-to-dawn street party. Plus, it’s all free!
