Les Heures Heureuses
We’re kicking off summer with the return of Les Heures Heureuses from July 5 – 7. The culinary concept remains the same – to offer Parisians gourmet apéro snacks for 2 euros at restaurants around the city – but this year, for its 6th edition, the event has grown to 17 foodie walks with more than 300 addresses will partake. Keep your eyes peeled for more information about how to sign-up.

This event has a little bit of everything: music, film, street art, debates, market of wares from up-and-coming European designers, food trucks, and skate park. And it doesn’t hurt that the line-up includes names like Macy Gray, Mos Def, and Laura Mvula.
Cultures d’Outre-MerAlso on July 16th, Le Grand Marché Stalingrad presents Marché #3 – Cultures d’Outre Mer. Spend your Sunday perusing textile and jewelry designers’ stands, take a Creole cooking class, or just enjoy the Afro-Caribbean music by DJ FAYA KLR.
