For events sortiraparis.com and offi.fr are great helps. We love Japanese culture so I would recommend to check also lejapon.paris, for eg tea ceremonies: the best one is at the hôtel d’Heidelbach and allows you to visit the Guimet museum just next to it. The next one Saturday has still available seats at https://guimet.fr/fr/activites-visites/visite-decouverte-de-maison-guimet-et-de-son-jardin-1
This Saturday, that’s the Long Night of Museums. The governmental official page is at nuitdesmusees.culture.gouv.fr
you seem to be around Bastille/Austerlitz: for you and your dog you must walk up to La Villette by the Canal: you probably already wandered on the Canal but I recommend you do the trip starting the morning, stop for lunch by the dog parc “Parc à chien de Jemmapes” 185 Quai de Jemmapes, 75010 Paris while or before you eat at Round Egg Buns (best egg buns ever, I recommend trying a smash and a salmon) or New Soul Food and their Bokit. Then you continue , preferably left side of the canal to check atelier-mitch d0t squarespace d0t com 13 Quai de la Seine, 75019 Paris, then go to CENTQUATRE-PARIS . After I recommend going by the subway from Riquet to Porte de la Villette because then the area is not great. At Porte de la Villette don’t go North at all cost just go south and continue your journey at the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie (you can enter inside the building for free, paying the ticket to visit the exhibition might not be worth it for adults honestly). after continue your journey at La Villette exiting the building by the left to walk on the “Gal de la Villette” down to Cité de la Musique and here there is something most people don’t know: go to Philharmonie de Paris and use the elevator outside to go to the rooftop and get a unique view. For diner I would then strongly recommend the food court at Boom Boom Villette were you will see that some Parisian restaurants have their stand here (Hakata Choten ramen, La Brigade, New soul food etc.). So you can get a bit of very different cuisine at the same place, ideally to share with some people.
Our favorite museum are the Guimet on Asia, and the must-see Orsay Museum. Then we would rank just after them, the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine, the Hôtel de la Marine and the Petit Palais (free !). I will strongly recommend you to take the train to go to Chantilly castle and Versailles of course (if castles are your thing Fontainebleau and Rambouillet are next in line). if you don’t have time to go to Versailles go to the BnF museum at Richelieu. Also I strongly recommend you to check the best old libraries listed on one of my old post here at hostux.social/@Flop_Ysh/115781183600113092
I’m opening the comments on that article for a limited time only.
