Gardens, food, techno… Six great things to do in Paris this weekend!

There is so much on in Paris this weekend that we just can’t choose!

Here are six great events that you shouldn’t miss…

Previously known as La Fête de la Gastronomie, Goût de France started today but continues all weekend.

Organised (for some reason) by the Ministry of Economy (which may explain why the website is so hard to navigate), the idea is to show just how amazing French cooking can be, and allow you to taste it for yourself!

This year, the theme is ‘Every kind of taste’. More info on the Facebook page and Twitter.

Not to be confused with the Rendez-vous aux jardins event which takes place in June each year, the Fête des Jardins (and urban agriculture) has events happening all over Paris this weekend, with at least six near us on the Left Bank.

Go down to the Seine or the 6th arrondissement for example, or head for the Jardin des Plantes where (logically) there’s an awful lot going on!

There’s more info on the website here, and a few extra ideas on Twitter.

On Saturday, it’s time for the Techno Parade, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year! Expect even more volume and madness than usual, as well as some special club nights.

This year, the parade goes from Palais Royal to Place d’Italie, but there’s a change in the organisation this year. From midday-4pm it won’t move an inch (welcome to the wildest dancefloor you’ve ever seen!) before setting off at 4pm and arriving at 7pm.

More info on the website.

And if you still have some free time left over, you could always chec out Culture au Quai, the Sports Festival Un Dimanche à la Galerie with many art galleries specially open on Sunday…

What a crazy weekend! Make the most of it!
