The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, a food tour – there are certain Paris must-sees that never change. But the French capital is also home to a thriving, ever-changing scene of exhibits, concerts, and more! Here are the three things we’re most excited about for this month.

1. Encounter an American Impressionist

Paris is filled with works by the famed Impressionist painters, from the Marmottan to the Orangerie Museums. But this month, for a limited time, the Jacquemart-André Museum is hosting a retrospective devoted to one of the only American Impressionists (and the only one to exhibit her work with the French Impressionists in Paris): Mary Cassatt. This small museum in the 8th arrondissement will unite a rare combination of works loaned from museums like Washington’s National Gallery of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, as well as from private collections.

2. Immerse Yourself in Flowers

The Jardin des Plantes is back in bloom – and it’s a lovely place to spend a Parisian afternoon. Wander through the garden (and its menagerie) on your own, or take advantage of a free guided tour through the grounds. (You may need to brush up on your French – these guided tours are unfortunately not available in English.)

3. Discover Monet’s Inspiration

Claude Monet’s former home in Giverny has reopened for the season! Giverny is just a quick train ride away from Paris; upon your arrival, you’ll be free to wander the gardens (including the famous Japanese bridge) and explore Monet’s home, which now also displays some of the works of the master. Make a day of it and spend the afternoon wandering through the small village of Giverny, a place where Monet sought solace and inspiration in his later years.
