  • Welcome to 'Things to do in Paris' on this vibrant Saturday, January 25, 2025 As you step out into the City of Light, you'll be greeted by a crisp winter atmosphere, with temperatures hovering around 5.4°C, and a slight chance of precipitation, given the month's above-normal rainfall[2].

    Today, Paris is buzzing with a multitude of exciting events that cater to all interests. If you're a food enthusiast, head over to Montmartre for the Fête de la coquille Saint-Jacques, where you can indulge in free scallop tastings and immerse yourself in the local culture. This annual celebration is a must-visit, especially if you're a fan of seafood[1].

    For those fascinated by fashion, the 11th arrondissement is hosting a free exhibition dedicated to the iconic Belgian designer Martin Margiela. This unique event features over 270 pieces, including some never-before-seen items, making it an unmissable stop for fashion aficionados[1].

    Sports fans are in for a treat as the NBA Paris Games 2025 take place at the Accor Arena, with the San Antonio Spurs facing off against the Indiana Pacers at 6 PM. Even if you can't make it to the game, you can catch the action on Canal+ for free[3].

    If you're planning a wedding or just love all things bridal, the Salon du Mariage 2025 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is the perfect place to be. From wedding dresses to honeymoon planning, this event has everything you need to make your special day unforgettable[1].

    In terms of local news, be aware that there are some Metro RER train closures and works, so it's a good idea to check the latest updates before you head out. Additionally, two departments in the Île-de-France region are under yellow alert for rain and flooding, so keep an eye on the weather forecast[3].

    For a mix of popular attractions and hidden gems, consider a stroll through the charming neighborhood of Butte-aux-Cailles, known for its street art, affordable bars, and local vibe. Alternatively, visit the Georges Brassens Park, which houses a unique covered book market and a small vineyard, offering a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle[4].

    Here's a local tip: When navigating Paris, use the Velib bike-sharing service to explore the city like a local. It's an eco-friendly and fun way to discover hidden spots and enjoy the scenic views along the Seine.

    Before we wrap up, don't forget to mark your calendars for tomorrow's events, including the continuation of the Chinese New Year celebrations at Bastille and the final day of the Martin Margiela exhibition.
