Events calendar Paris 12th 75012

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.

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!

Created in 2000, around the Oustal, a place shared by the 300,000 Aveyron inhabitants of Paris located in Bercy, this market brings together about a hundred producers and craftsmen in the capital, every year in mid-October. For three days, glove makers from Millau, cutlers from Laguiole, cosmetic manufacturers, and food producers (butchers, bakers, cheese makers, wine makers...) are all there. A convivial and gourmet gathering that attracts more than 50,000 visitors at each edition.

A real playground, the Bois de Vincennes has everything to celebrate the sportsmen confirmed as grass joggers, for all tastes and levels. In addition to its 3 km cycle cycle, its cavalier track and its outdoor football and rugby fields, the park has two health courses. According to your mood and shape that day, therefore choose for the short version (its 1400 meters and its 14 gear usually spoil the beginners), or for the long version, more intense with its 2400 meters and 18 gear. On track!

The Parc Floral de Paris, in the Bois de Vincennes, has been hosting the Salon Moto Légende since 1998. This event is dedicated to vintage motorcycles. It features vintage machines, a trade fair, professionals, clubs and museums. In all, 400 exhibitors and 500 motorcycles retrace over a century of motorcycle history on the 12,000 m² show floor.

Of international repute, Paris Jazz Festival joins together a public very many. For the price of park entrance, there is the chance attend concerts which proceed under a large hood. It is particularly amusing to listen to music surrounded of flowers and herb. Attention, the access being free, it is better not to be able to too late be well placed. Passed there: Wynton Marsalis, Thomas Dutronc, Stacey Kent, Ahmad Jamal, Didier Lockwood, Erik Truffaz, Richard Galliano, etc One would not finish any enumerating them!

It is every year in March that this very appreciated festival is held at the AccorHotels Arena. Fans, enthusiasts, experts and novices meet there to discover shows, fights and animations. We don't know where to turn, and it's true that we don't stop here to watch, discuss sometimes, and marvel at so many techniques. Krav Maga, Kudo Daido Juku, Wushu, Taekwondo, MMA or Aikido are among the sports offered.
