Paris is buzzing with energy as autumn settles in, with a vibrant lineup of events filling the city with excitement through the rest of this week and the weekend. Let’s dive into what’s happening right now, so listeners can make the most of Paris in late September.

Kicking things off, the reopening of Notre Dame’s towers is this month’s headline for culture lovers. For the first time since the devastating fire, visitors can once again climb the legendary 424 steps and discover a newly enhanced experience at the top, with sweeping views over the city and fresh exhibits to explore. ParisDiscoveryGuide.com notes that this has quickly become the must-do attraction for September.

Outdoor art takes over the capital with the return of PHOTOCLIMAT, transforming Paris into an open-air gallery from Place de la Concorde to the quays of the Seine and Place Saint-Sulpice. More than forty artists and NGOs fill these spaces with monumental installations, all focused on environmental and social commitment. Parisjetaime.com highlights that this is a free, accessible cultural walk and an inspiring way to get outside and see the city in a new light.

Music fans have much to celebrate this weekend. The comeback of the famous Techno Parade promises a citywide party. Floats topped with world-class DJs will roll through the streets blasting electronic music, reviving an event that was missed last year. For something different, the gardens of the Château de Versailles host the Nocturnes Electro this Saturday, September 27th, for an open-air night dance party.

For those who want to feel the city’s pulse through movement, the annual Paris-Versailles race, known as La Grande Classique, takes off on Sunday, September 28th. Twenty-five thousand runners will race the 16-kilometer course from the Eiffel Tower to the Château de Versailles—a true spectacle for athletes and spectators alike.

Art and fashion lovers are also treated to a feast of new exhibitions. The history of French style and sports unites in Fashion on the Move at the Palais Galliera, running through early October. Meanwhile, Paris is pulsing with energy as Paris Fashion Week lights up runways and venues across the city, introducing fresh designers and trends.
