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. Revisit the Last Revolution

France has a lengthy revolutionary history, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the most recent rebellion. The Revolution of May 1968, or mai 68, as it’s more commonly called, is explored via an historical and cultural exhibit at Ground Control, a 12th arrondissement venue known for its innovative stance on ecology, solidarity, and what it means to be a Parisian.

2. Enjoy Marie-Antoinette’s Roses

The Bagatelle rose garden, first planted by Marie-Antoinette, is home to over 1,000 varieties of roses. Enjoy them in full bloom while you listen to live cello music at one of the first of this season’s outdoor concerts on May 25 (tickets available online for 10 euro).

3. Get a True Taste of Paris

Paris is famous for its gastronomy, and the month of May allows you to leap right in! The Taste of Paris event, held from May 17 to 20 in the heart of the Grand Palais, unites 18 pop-up restaurants from some of Paris’ top chefs to show off what’s in store for the capital’s tables this year. Reserve your ticket to this unique event online.
