Fête de la Musique

Today as every year since 1982, live music will be on street corners, in squares, and pouring out of cafés and bars as the entire city is transformed into a giant stage. Pick a neighborhood and stroll.

(Most public transportation will be running all night)

Aperol Spritz, the light, fizzy Italian import that bullied the Mojito out as Paris' favorite summer terrace drink.
