With more than 2,000 exhibitors, it's the ideal place to discover the latest innovations in home, leisure, crafts and gastronomy, find new products and make purchases.

Young and old alike have been looking forward to this event for decades! In fact, the Foire du Trône is nothing new. It used to be called the Gingerbread Fair. Today, this huge funfair is located on the Pelouse de Reuilly in the ^12th arrondissement, on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. It features over 350 attractions on a 10-hectare site, and lasts for around two months. The best way to get there is by public transport, as parking in the area is not easy.

An unsuspected corner of greenery in the heart of the 12th arrondissement of Paris, the Promenade plantée is a great opportunity for a walk! Perched above the traffic and the hubbub of the city, it would almost give you the impression of being in the countryside! Its 4.5 kilometres were built on the rails of a former railway line, which stopped traffic in 1969. From the Opéra Bastille, it takes you to the Porte dorée and the Bois de Vincennes, via the jardin de Reuilly, the viaduc des Arts and the allée Vivaldi. All you have to do is choose your option: Sunday walk or daily jogging?

Known as the biggest and oldest organic fair in France, run by Nature et Progrès, Marjolaine hosts every year conferences, workshops... and an impressive number of exhibitors. The organic village allows you to discover many healthy and good products, to meet farmers, producers and craftsmen but also to taste excellent organic wines! An eco-café to discuss current issues, a series of film-conferences on major environmental issues, and workshops on food complete an already plethoric offer.

Jazz, but also blues, funk, hip-hop, rock and various modern African musics mix harmoniously during this important festival which takes place in several spaces of the park of La Villette. You can listen to new talents and renowned artists, some of whom rarely perform in Paris. You can of course find something to eat on the spot. Every year, the program is breathtaking, and the atmosphere, still soft in this late spring, is so nice. To live with friends or family !

Every year in October, thousands of people wear the same pink T-shirt (the visual impression is very nice) to run several kilometers for cancer research. Here, the objective is obviously not to make a performance (although you can try, if you wish) but to run with friends or colleagues to raise funds to further accelerate research against this terrible disease. The appointment is every year in October on the racecourse of Vincennes!

Everyone knows the principle of these very popular kiosks, and for good reason: they allow you to go to the show for significantly reduced prices. The kiosk in Place des Ternes, which must be clearly distinguished from the flower merchants in the square, is open from Tuesday to Saturday, but be careful, plan to go as early as possible for two reasons: you could have the best prices, and then keep in mind that Place des Ternes is slightly off-centre, and that you could take a little time to reach your cultural place.

The world's leading chocolate event always attracts its share of gourmands and the curious! Although the show now travels between New York, Moscow, Kyoto, Tokyo and Shanghai, the Paris version remains the most popular and prestigious.

On the menu: international competitions, fashion show, workshops, shows. The success is not denied, and there are thousands of people who rush there during each edition.
