Description
Bienvenue to “Things to do in Paris” for Sunday, August 3, 2025! Whether you’re waking up to the city’s hazy golden glow or strolling along the Seine, today’s Paris is buzzing with summer energy. The weather is pleasantly warm, with temperatures hovering in the mid-20s°C, perfect for both indoor and outdoor adventures. Air quality is good, giving everyone the green light to explore. Across town, anticipation is mounting for tonight’s festivities as Parisians and visitors fill the parks, museums, and lively café terraces[1][2].
Let’s dive into today’s top events. Art lovers, don’t miss “Van Gogh, la nuit étoilée,” the dazzling immersive exhibition at Atelier des Lumières, running through August 30. Become part of Van Gogh’s most iconic masterpieces as light and sound bring the painter’s world to life—a sensory feast for all ages[1]. For family fun, hop over to Porte de Versailles, where “Jurassic Park in Paris” offers an interactive dinosaur adventure, merging science, spectacle, and play for kids (and the young at heart)[1]. If you fancy something free and nature-inspired, explore the contemporary art exhibition “Ode to Flora & Fauna” at STATION F, the world’s largest startup campus reimagined as an artistic jungle until September 1[1].
For fans of eccentric experiences, the Paradox Museum has just unveiled five new mind-bending interactive rooms—plus, don’t miss the debut of the Hans & Gretel Café for the city’s most whimsical sweets[1]. Nightlife seekers can dance beneath palm trees at Tiki Playa, a summery club escape with island vibes, cool cocktails, and a bamboo bar that’s open every day[1]. Or, for a surreal twist, visit the Wonderwoods restaurant for dinner deep in an enchanted forest, where nature and gourmet cuisine collide[1].
Turning to local news, Paris’s culinary scene continues to sizzle. New hidden gems like Brasserie des Prés in Saint-Germain-des-Prés are earning raves for their cozy courtyards and affordable, quintessentially Parisian fare[3]. The celebrated Le Tout-Paris restaurant at Cheval Blanc has just received its first Michelin star, promising panoramic views and elevated French cuisine[3]. On the move? The city’s extensive metro and bus network is running smoothly today, with no major closures or strikes reported[3]. If you’re venturing out, enjoy easy access to city hotspots and landmark attractions.
Now, don’t forget the classics: stroll through the fragrant Luxembourg Gardens, marvel at the Eiffel Tower twinkling at dusk, or lose yourself in the bohemian streets of Montmartre[2]. For a truly unique treat, book a dinner on the Bus Saint Germain 1920—a moving feast that takes you past the city’s famous monuments in vintage Roaring Twenties style[3].
Local tip: When wandering Paris, look up! The city’s zinc rooftops and ornate chimneys are protected as UNESCO heritage, giving Paris its dreamy silver skyline—and making rooftop bars and viewpoints extra special[6].
Before we say au revoir, get ready for tomorrow’s stunning Grandes Eaux Musicales at the Château de Versailles, where baroque music and magical fountains create a fairytale evening[1]. Tune in tomorrow for more Parisian must-dos and insider tips. À bientôt!
