Paris on a Budget: Your Weekly Guide to the Best Free Events

The Best Free Plans in Paris This Week

Paris is a city of endless discovery, and sometimes the best experiences are the ones that don't cost a cent. This week, we have curated a selection of events that bring the city's vibrant energy to life, from legendary rock venues to intimate workshops and high-energy club nights.

Live Music and Indie Vibes

If you are looking for the raw energy of the Paris music scene, Supersonic remains the place to be. This week features an eclectic mix: catch Fanny, Chat Noir and Clé on Monday for a French pop-inspired evening, or head over for garage rock with Fruit Tones and Fake Youth on Tuesday. If you prefer the brooding atmosphere of post-punk, catch Raskolnikov and Sure on Thursday, and wrap up the week with a Sunday night session featuring Leather Head and Summer Camp Girlfriend.

Culture and Unique Experiences

For those who prefer a more intellectual start to the week, the Cité de l'architecture is hosting a fascinating discussion on architecture and literature on Monday evening. On Tuesday, dive into the future of sustainability with a guided tour of La Maison des Canaux, an architectural gem focused on circular economy. Film buffs should not miss the chance to catch a screening of Dossier 137 at the iconic Grand Rex on Wednesday night.

Drinks and Late Night

Kick off your Thursday evening at Ground Control with a hands-on beer appreciation workshop. For the night owls, the Badaboum is offering free entry after 3:30 or 4:30 AM throughout the week, including the Ondula Festival off-party on Thursday, the Lisa More Residency on Friday, a techno session on Saturday, and the La Ruche night on Sunday.
