Easter Holidays: celebrate springtime in Paris

Sunshine and the fine weather are finally back: take the opportunity and celebrate with a stay in Paris! After the dark winter months, rediscover the pleasures of outdoor activities! If you have the family with you, don't miss the Foire du trône funfair, with its 350 attractions and rides, which will be celebrating its 1055th edition this year. Alternatively, visit the Paris Spring Farmers' Fair in the parc floral in Paris to kick off the season with fresh and delicious farm produce.

Spring is also a good time to get back into sport! Prepare for summertime with Destinations Nature!, the hiking, sports and nature travel fair. The Paris Marathon and its Breakfast Race will take you on a tour of the capital's most beautiful monuments.

In Paris, springtime is all about culture. It's time to celebrate all of the arts: music with numerous classical concerts in the most prestigious venues in the city, dance at the international day of dance, film with Printemps du cinéma ("springtime of cinema"), fine art with many prestigious exhibitions… Such as the Matisse exhibition waiting to be discovered at the Pompidou Centre. Fans of photography, won't want to miss the Helmut Newton exhibition at the Grand Palais, or Ai Weiwei at the Jeu de Paume.

This year once again, spring in Paris will be a dynamic and cultural season.
