5 things to do in Paris this weekend

The Fashion Week is in full swing, and the city is buzzing with fashion professionals and VIP guests. Sidewalks and terraces are packed with fashion lovers, couriers are overwhelmed, and those lucky enough to book an Uber during rush hour can count themselves blessed. However, this endless week is finally coming to an end, and the weekend is just around the corner. It's time to step out of your cocoon because the streets are alive with activities for every taste. Discover now what the city has in store for you this weekend.

Where to Eat: La Domenica Italiana


From March 3 to 9, Erika Blu takes over Atelier Lardeur with what she does best: instinctive, generous cuisine and a natural sense of hospitality. The recipe? A large table, a seamless flow of dishes, wine flowing freely, and conversations stretching long after dessert. There's no set menu here, just a carefully orchestrated sequence: heaps of antipasti, comforting primi, secondi that silence the table, and a dolci cart that will test even the strongest willpower. All this under flickering candlelight and, if the night allows, a piano note to prolong the magic. Seats are limited, memories unforgettable. Reservation required.

Must-See: The Matter and Shape Fair

As Fashion Week takes over the city, design refuses to stay backstage. Matter and Shape returns from March 7 to 10 at the Jardin des Tuileries, asking a simple question: what will the world of tomorrow look like? The answer unfolds across 5,000 m², featuring design icons and emerging talents shaking things up. This is a fair where forms collide, experimental meets functional, and Willo Perron handles the scenography. Add a WE ARE ONA pop-up restaurant and a bookstore to take a piece of inspiration home. As for discussions, the Jil Sander Design Talks bring brilliant minds together to discuss sustainability and craftsmanship. Prefer to take notes? No worries, it will be released as a podcast. And for those who don’t want to miss anything, Matter & Shape extends its reach with an Off-Site Program across Paris. Entry badges are already available online, with a combined pass for Première Classe to switch between fashion and design.

Where to Shop: The 313 New York x At Dawn Pop-Up

New York vintage has landed in the Marais. 313 VINTAGE has set up shop at At Dawn for an exclusive pop-up until March 9. The private preview was already packed on Wednesday night, with drinks, music, and well-curated first finds. But don’t worry—the selection is still there, offering vintage pieces for true connoisseurs. Head to 13 Rue de Picardie before it all disappears.

Where to Party: With Ultra Suave at Point Éphémère

ULTRA SUAVE is back in full force, striking where it matters: at the heart of the night, where the bass resonates and injustices persist. For this March 8, the team is partnering with Réinventer la Nuit, an organization that challenges norms and raises awareness about gender-based violence in nightlife. Underrated DJs, pervasive sexualization, condescension disguised as compliments—the inequalities are real, even behind the decks. So, ULTRA SUAVE does what it does best: throwing a party, but with a purpose. All proceeds go directly to the association. The lineup? Mostly B2B sets: Encore une autre and Mariad, Mel V and Andy 4000, Naoquita, Glitter55 and Nadia Keira—for a night where the party belongs to everyone.
