Hey there 👋 I’m Daniela, and every week I round up the coolest events in Paris — most of them free or affordable. Each edition is a bit different depending on what’s happening. Here's what I’d add to your calendar for June 9–15 :
During the Week:
9-14/06: Festival du Mieux Manger (Free Entry) 🥕
A whole week of fun events around sustainable food. There will be tastings, markets, talks, and workshops across Paris. Great excuse to try new things and meet the people shaping how we eat here.
09–15/06: Fun Palace @Grand Palais (Free Entry) 🎉
The Grand Palais is turning into a giant pink playground. You can lounge barefoot, listen to music, play games, and join talks. It’s all about creativity and sharing joy.
09–15/06: Mini Print Vending Machine @Locke Hotel (Free Entry) 🖼️
A cute little art vending machine spotted in NYC, now here in Paris. There’s a mini vending machine full of little art prints by Eleanor Isobelle you can collect. Super cute if you want a small souvenir or a gift.
09/06: Soirée Café x SAIN Boulangerie (Free Entry) ☕🎵
A fun daytime DJ set in one of my favorite bakeries. Grab a coffee and a pastry, and hang out while local DJs play good tunes. Starts at 11 AM.
09/06: Free Comédie-Française Tickets for Under 28 🎭
If you’re under 28, you can grab a free ticket to see a show at the Comédie-Française. You just need to show up an hour early with your ID.
10/06: Salsa Night @Le Comptoir Général (Free Entry) 💃
One of my fave weekly dance nights. There’s a free salsa class at 8 PM, then the whole place turns into a Latin dance party. Very casual and beginner friendly.

This new expo dives into the real story of Cleopatra. You’ll see coins, papyri, sculptures and learn how her legend evolved. Looks super cool if you’re into history or mythology.
