  • Summary

  • Welcome to 'Things to Do in Paris' on this lively Sunday, January 26, 2025 As you step out into the City of Light, you'll notice the weather is quite damp, with January seeing a significant increase in precipitation, nearly 180% above the normal amount[2].

    Despite the rain, Paris is buzzing with excitement. Here are a few key events that promise to make your day memorable:

    - For music lovers, the **Candlelight Concert: Schumann, Schubert, Beethoven** at Saint-Ephrem Church is a must-attend. This intimate setting will transport you to a world of classical beauty[1].
    - If you're in the mood for something more vibrant, head to the **Chinese Lunar New Year festivities** happening around the city. This celebration is filled with colorful parades, traditional performances, and delicious food[3].
    - Families can enjoy the **Fête de la coquille Saint-Jacques**, a festive event that celebrates the city's culinary delights and offers a fun day out for all ages[3].

    In addition to these events, there are some exciting local updates to keep in mind. The NBA Paris Games 2025 may have concluded, but the city is still abuzz from the recent matches at the Accor Arena[3]. For those planning to move around the city, be aware of the ongoing metro and RER train works, and check the latest traffic updates to avoid any disruptions[3].

    When it comes to must-do activities, Paris has something for everyone. Visit the **Louvre** to see the special exhibition on Guillaume Guillon-Lethiere, a 19th-century African/Guadeloupean-French artist, which offers a unique glimpse into the city's rich artistic history[1].

    For a hidden gem, explore the **Galerie Vivienne** and **Passage des Panoramas**, two beautiful covered passageways filled with cafes, bistros, and boutique shops. These passageways are a charming escape from the bustling streets and offer a taste of Paris's lesser-known treasures[4].

    Here’s a local tip to help you navigate like a Parisian: when walking through the city, take a moment to appreciate the small details, such as the intricate mosaics on the floors of the covered passageways or the quaint cafes tucked away in quiet corners. It's these small discoveries that make Paris truly magical.

    As you wrap up your day, keep an eye out for tomorrow's events. The **Bach by Candlelight: Suites for Solo Cello** at Saint-Germain-des-Pres Church promises another enchanting musical experience, and the **Das Rheingold: Paris Opera** at Opera Bastille is a treat for opera enthusiasts[1].

    Until next time, stay dry, enjoy the city's vibrant atmosphere, and tune in for more 'Things to Do in Paris'
