 Paris is buzzing with end-of-summer energy this week, making it a perfect moment for listeners to dive into the city’s unique festivals, cultural events, and playful surprises. Starting today, Paris Plages turns the banks of the Seine, Canal Saint-Martin, and Bassin de la Villette into urban beaches. There are deckchairs, palm trees, open-air swimming, volleyball, and even beach-themed cultural happenings, including a special Mercredi Addams lounge area inspired by the Netflix series. For the first time in a century, swimming is officially allowed in the Seine, and sandy beaches are back according to Secrets of Paris and Paris je t’aime.

For Potterheads, today brings the magical Harry Potter quiz at the Bibliothèque Saint-Geneviève. This event lets aspiring wizards answer themed questions, build Lego patterns, and try some unforgettable sensory challenges inside one of Paris’s grandest libraries. Admission is free with advance registration and sessions run from morning till evening, reports Paris Secret.

Feeling hungry? Historic Le Grand Véfour, overlooking the Palais Royal, is serving up its legendary menu this week. Founded in 1784 and famous for welcoming everyone from Napoleon to Victor Hugo, it’s a chance to savor Parisian tradition in a breathtaking setting. The weekly menu starts at 59 euros, found through Paris Secret.

The city’s famously eclectic spirit gets another boost with the Fête à Neuneu, running through October at the Bois de Boulogne. According to Sortir à Paris, opening festivities this weekend include charity events and unlimited rides, making it perfect for families or thrill-seekers.

For sporting enthusiasts, this weekend marks the very first Aquathlon de Paris: dash between the Eiffel Tower and Ile aux Cygnes, then jump in the Seine for a city swim-run challenge. Organized by the Ligue Île-de-France de Triathlon, it’s a fresh and scenic way to see the city, according to Sortir à Paris.

On Sunday, the annual Ganesh Festival brings a dazzling, colorful parade to the 18th arrondissement. Religious ceremonies and vibrant processions fill the streets with music, flower petals, and joy, found in the Paris festival coverage by Sortir à Paris. Also, the Jardin d’été festival at Musée du Quai Branly wraps up this weekend with Japanese summer festivities, food pop-ups, and arts events.

If you’re drawn to the captivating rhythm of jazz, Jazz à La Villette serves up headline acts like The Headhunters and Anne Paceo as the city celebrates one of its favorite musical traditions. And don’t miss those lazy summer Seine cruises or a whirlwind evening of games and food at Les Floraisons Ludiques just outside the city, suggested by Paris Insiders Guide.
