5 things to do in Paris this weekend

In the blink of an eye, the week is coming to an end, and the weekend is already on the horizon. Even if the weather is not ideal, it's time to venture out of your cocoon. The streets are calmer compared to previous weeks, but they are still bustling with activities to suit all tastes. Discover what the city has to offer this weekend.

Where to Eat: With Mathilde Deniau at La Bagarre

This weekend marks the end of Mathilde Deniau's residency, and it's safe to say it promises to be a grand finale. Since early February, she has infused her culinary DNA into the menu of Elliot Lefèvre’s spot, resulting in a series of hits worthy of a final round: charred mackerel tostada, ultra-crispy potato galette, comforting broth, and feta-spinach pastry. In the dining room, people toast with natural wine, eagerly share plates, and already debate what’s next: who will take over after Mathilde? While waiting for the answer, we savor these last bites, greet the chef in the kitchen, and soak up the La Bagarre spirit—big or small gatherings, striking dishes, and evenings that stretch longer than expected. Last chance to taste the menu this Saturday. After that, only greasy memories and a strong desire to see Deniau return will remain.

Must-See: Octobre 61 by Johanna Tordjman

The history of exile is written on faces, and Johanna Tordjman paints it in oil, with the precision of a memory that refuses to fade. Until March 2, Octobre 61 takes over Oddity Paris, unveiling portraits inspired by family archives, where every gaze tells a story of waiting, uprooting, and rebuilding. From Algiers to Paris, from Senegal to Italy, these anonymous faces embody a France shaped by immigration. And alongside the artist, Adidas Paris and Originals support this artistic and historical exploration because identity, like style, is a blend of heritages.

Where to Have Fun: A Workshop by Adaptism and Clarks

Clarks is celebrating its 200th anniversary and, to mark the occasion, the English brand is setting up a pop-up in the heart of the Marais, as nostalgic as it is innovative. A space to celebrate the iconic Wallabees, Desert Boots, and other classics that have left their mark on both the streets and culture—while also offering a customization experience. The studio Adaptism, known for its circular design approach, is offering an experience centered around the legendary Wallabees: a patchwork of leather scraps transformed into modular details, with over two billion possible combinations. A fresh take on bespoke fashion, blending upcycling and textile experimentation. Meet at 7 Rue Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie until March 2 to see how a brand can rewrite its history without ever betraying its DNA.

Where to Shop: At the Apoc Store Pop-Up

Until March 2, the fashion-forward digital concept store is taking physical form for a limited-time pop-up in the perfect location for insiders: 30 Rue du Château d'Eau. After a successful debut in London, APOC has entrusted the curation this time to a well-connected Parisian quartet—Kenza Iatrides, Hannah Creak, Angele Lepolard (Vetements Fragile), and Alisa Cayoo. The result: a sharp selection of 30 designers and artists, spanning fashion, jewelry, and art, all with a common theme—bold, experimental, and one-of-a-kind pieces. On-site, Urte Kat and ONRUSHW23FH will be showcasing their new collections in a pre-launch, while MADOMORPHO is preparing an exclusive in-store drop. Fans of functional (and ultra-collectible) design will also find pieces by Lucile Gracile, Aequo Materia, MLK Furniture, Mélissa Mariller, and Thomas Ballouhey. A must-stop for those who prefer the rare over the mainstream.
