The 2025 Paris Marathon takes place on Sunday, April 13, starting at the iconic Arc de Triomphe. This exciting event will see 65,000 runners from across the globe racing down the famous Champs-Élysées, with around 250,000 spectators lining the 26.2-mile (42.2 km) route to cheer them on.
On April 13, enjoy a classical concert by Orchestre Paris Classik at the Eiffel Tower, featuring works by Mozart and Schubert.
You have only three weeks to see “The Flowers of Yves Saint Laurent” exhibition, celebrating the designer’s deep connection to floral inspirations, before it closes on May 4. The exhibit is held at Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris and features over thirty garments and drawings, highlighting the interplay between nature, literature, and Yves Saint Laurent’s creations.
I absolutely love stocking up on the latest beauty products whenever I’m in Paris, where every corner offers new, luxurious finds. The city’s chic boutiques and skincare havens are always a must-visit for my beauty obsession, especially now that nine new products from some of my favorite brands have just been released.
I really enjoyed this article on Art Deco Interiors and why they’re trending in House Beautiful. Over the past couple of years, I’ve seen many modern takes on art deco style in Paris, including the hotel I booked for my upcoming visit.
Les Grandes Eaux Musicales (Fountain Shows) at the Château de Versailles kicked off on April 5, offering visitors a mesmerizing experience where the palace’s stunning fountains are synchronized to classical music. It’s a perfect way to enjoy the beauty of Versailles’ gardens while listening to the timeless compositions of Lully and Handel.
