Everything You Need to Do in Paris in June

© 2026 Atelier JR / Raphaël Metivet

A whirlwind of outings for this radiant month of June, which has plenty of surprises in store for us! Our list of must-gos that you cannot miss under any circumstances? A jazz evening under the stars, a Cyrano de Bergerac portrayed by the brilliant Edouard Baer, an Andy Warhol exhibition at Saint Laurent, opera and classical dance in the gardens of the Ritz, and even a dance class on a rooftop facing the Eiffel Tower! June will be chic, June will be shocking.

You have probably spotted it during a stroll along the quays: a huge iceberg has appeared on the Pont Neuf over the last few days. Conceived by the French artist JR, La Caverne du Pont Neuf is currently the largest immersive artwork in the world, measuring 120 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 18 meters high. A phenomenal installation that wraps the bridge from the quai de la Mégisserie to the place du Pont-Neuf. From June 6th to 28th, La Caverne will be accessible from the inside, designed as an immersive experience that invites visitors "to emerge from blindness and isolation in favor of lucidity, social bonds, and harmony among all," deeply echoing the allegory of the Platonic cave (#philosophymoment).

Paying tribute to the artistic vision of Christo and Jeanne-Claude and their Pont Neuf Wrapped created in 1985, JR makes La Caverne the culmination of a cycle begun in 2020, which questioned the bonds between citizens and their relationship with nature. And the icing on the cake: La Caverne is as cool as it looks, turning into a real refuge to hide out when it gets too hot. At the heart of the project is immersion: augmented reality, interactive experiences, visual effects inspired by chronophotography, and sound effects designed by Thomas Bangalter, former member of Daft Punk, which will make the visitor "a fully-fledged co-author of the work." Our three recommendations to get the best view: aboard the new Sax Boat, a private electric boat unveiled by the Sax Hôtel; from the first floor of Maxime Frédéric's café at Louis Vuitton, or straight from the towers of Notre-Dame de Paris.

La Caverne du Pont-Neuf, 1st arrondissement, until June 28th.

"To displease is my pleasure. I love to be hated." As mocking as they are fond of self-deprecation, both share a love for every nuance of the spoken word. Who better than Edouard Baer to embody Cyrano de Bergerac? With his delightful phrasing and a finesse of interpretation that betrays his love for this timeless masterpiece, the actor puts on his nasal prosthesis and hat once again: heading to the Théâtre du Gymnase for a dozen highly anticipated performances from June 17th to July 4th. Far from the idea of showing off with heavily declaimed speeches: under the direction of Anne Kessler, honorary member of the Comédie-Française who directs here, Baer's Cyrano aims to be light and moving until his very last breath.

In short, the promise of a great theatrical moment, delighting both those capable of reciting his legendary lines ("My heart never left you for a second. And I am and will be, even in the next world, the one who loved you beyond measure") and novices looking for a safe bet to discover the stage. The story? That of a thwarted love between a noble poet infatuated with the beautiful Roxane, who is herself seduced by the charms of Christian, a handsome musketeer. Cyrano and his rival set up a dubious scheme: the former whispers his words to the latter, who reaps the rewards. A masterpiece signed by Edmond Rostand, which is bound to bring a few tears to your eyes and which we continue to love regardless.

Cyrano de Bergerac, from June 17th to July 4th at 9 PM at the Théâtre du Gymnase, 38 boulevard de Bonne Nouvelle, Paris 10th.

Get out your stilettos and crimson lipstick. The legendary hotel on place Vendôme is shaking up Parisian nights and opening the gates of its highly secret Grand Jardin on June 13th, 14th, and 15th to let us discover Les Nuits Étoilées, its very first high-flying music and dance festival to launch the summer festivities in grand luxury style. On the agenda for Saturday 13th, the Nuit de Diamant: a sparkling evening set to the rhythm of the duo Claire de Monteil and Axelle Saint‑Cirel, well-known for her masterful performance of the Marseillaise during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

On Sunday, the Nuit des Romantiques takes the form of an ode to love, carried by soprano Tamara Bounazou and tenor Quentin Desgeorges. On the dance side, get ready to thrill to the magnetic performance of Le Combat des Anges by virtuosos Andrea Sarri and Mickaël Lafon, not to mention an excerpt from Swan Lake performed by prima ballerina Maia Makhateli.

To close this marathon in style, Monday, June 15th makes way for the Nuit Clair de Lune. A timeless closing evening, sublimated by the unique voice of Bruno de Sá and Stars Alice Renavand and Mathio Ganio, who recreate the iconic ballet Le Parc by Angelin Preljocaj. The highlight of the show? A solo of rare intensity by icon Agnès Letestu, followed by a custom-made premiere created for Alice Renavand. A masterful closing, with a glass of Roederer champagne in hand. The bonus? The Ritz won't let you leave empty-handed, a small gift awaits you…

Les Nuits Étoilées au Ritz, 15 place de Vendôme Paris 6th. From June 13th to 15th, info and bookings online. From €150.

Did you know that Andy Warhol, before being a painter, was a great photographer? An eye sharpened by advertising, fascinated by the mundane, obsessed with everyday details: it is precisely this perspective that Banal Objects reveals, the exhibition to discover at Saint Laurent Rive Droite until mid-July. Here, forget the essential screen prints. Artistic director Anthony Vaccarello brings together rarely spotlighted shots, unvarnished snapshots, where authenticity dialogues with the elegance of the Saint Laurent universe.

Make way for raw Polaroids and 35 mm shots captured in the late 70s: everyday objects, flowers, portraits… Under Warhol's lens, the most ordinary becomes irresistibly desirable. In the minimalist and cozy decor of the historic boutique, each image reveals the artist's unique ability to transform daily life into an object of fascination. The result? A pop, intimate, and ultra-desirable interlude that lets us discover a new side of the king of Pop Art between two fittings for loafers and summer dresses.

Banal Objects, until July 15th at Saint Laurent Rive Droite, 213 rue Saint-Honoré, Paris 1st. Open Monday to Saturday from 10 AM to 7:30 PM, Sunday from 11 AM. All exhibited works are available for sale.

This is the event you can't miss for an unforgettable date: every Wednesday evening, Le Melville, the famous Parisian jazz club, takes to the open air just a stone's throw from the bois de Boulogne, at the foot of the magnificent 18th-century château in the jardin de Bagatelle. A dream setting where jazz, gastronomy, and English gardens blend, ideal for enjoying the sunset which gives way around 10 PM to a beautiful starry sky. On the agenda: an exceptional 4-course dinner-concert, during which the talented musicians of Le Melville offer us an enchanting jazz session in front of the rotunda. They are warmly applauded by the guests and cheered on by… the garden's magnificent peacock, who also enjoys the show! A timeless interlude that feels like being at the Court of the Roi Soleil.

On the menu, a selection specially designed and imagined for the occasion by chef Malcom Ecolasse, who loves to mix inspirations (Latin, Asian, and Tunisian…) and successfully offers his guests a sensory taste journey to accompany the music. On the menu: French toast with butter served with smoked scamorza, stracciatella, kiwi, onion pickles, scallions, and cashew nuts; then corvina carpaccio drizzled with leche de tigre and leeks, a chicken fillet decorated with beautiful pommes dauphine, and to finish, a caramelized mille-feuille with two lemons. Selected wines and cocktails of the day accompany these finely crafted dishes. Warning: from the marriage of all these pleasures, a moment so romantic is born that you will fall in love all over again!

Jazz à Bagatelle - Jardins de Bagatelle, 42 Route de Sèvres à Neuilly, Paris 16th. Every Wednesday, from June 2nd to July 29th. Welcome from 7:30 PM, concert at 8:30 PM. 4-course dinner + concert, €110. Booking at the latest on the Thursday preceding the event. In case of bad weather, a voucher will be offered.

At Shangri-La Paris, we already adored the gourmet Chinese restaurant Shang Palace, the indulgent afternoon teas, and the stunning Eiffel Tower-view terrace in summer. Always eager to surprise Parisians, the iconic palace in the 16th arrondissement is unveiling a brand-new restaurant located just to the right of the lobby entrance. Its name: Les Salons du Prince.

Spread across several salons listed as historic monuments and richly decorated to celebrate the heritage of Prince Roland Bonaparte’s former residence, this new venue welcomes guests continuously throughout the day, from breakfast through dinner. It’s a truly cozy jewel box with boudoir-like charm, where the piano plays by itself and guests are pampered with five-star service.

By the fireplace, around crisp white tablecloths and nestled into elegant Empire-style armchairs, guests can enjoy a continental breakfast from 8 a.m., complete with a basket of breads and pastries, fruit juice, and a hot drink (€45). Pure bliss!

For an elegant lunch or an intimate dinner with serious romantic potential, diners can share a Dim Sum Basket (vegetarian, king crab, chicken & shrimp, 6 pieces, €32), Mini Croque-Monsieurs with black truffle (€18), or the decadent Nuggets & Caviar (€49). Silky and delicate, the Gambero Rosso carpaccio with stracciatella, pomegranate molasses, and sumac melts in the mouth like a caress (€39), while the tuna tartare with avocado, calamansi lemon vinaigrette, and basil oil reveals wonderful depth and roundness (€28).

Also worth trying: the crisp little gem lettuce salad with king crab, avocado, and parmesan shavings (€62), Linguine with Caviar (€69) or bottarga with creamy sauce and fresh chives (€42), vegetarian, chicken, or salmon club sandwiches (€32, €35, €42), and steamed sea bass fillet with buttermilk sauce, salmon roe, and citrus rice (€45).

Pastry Chef Timothy Lam adds the finishing touch with desserts such as vanilla flan, hazelnut choux pastry, a delicate Fleur de Vanille entremets, or a seasonal dessert (€22). In short: a charming cocoon where you’ll want to linger.

Les Salons du Prince au Shangri-La Paris, 10 avenue d’Iéna, Paris 16e.  Open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Please note that from May 7 onward, Les Salons du Prince will welcome guests until 6 p.m. Reservations recommended online or by phone at +33 6 61 86 56 86k.

We had already sung the praises of Tessa Ponzo, pastry chef at Michelin-starred restaurant Irwin. During the latest Michelin ceremony in Monaco, the virtuoso pastry chef won the coveted Passion Dessert Award for her extraordinary and deeply inspiring work, which had already captivated us during a dinner at Irwin Durand’s restaurant.

From May 16 through September, food lovers should rush to FUMO’s pop-up in the Marais to discover her creative vision of ice cream, seasoned with savory accents to create an entirely new tasting experience.

Using artisanal and 100% organic ice creams and sorbets from Ardèche-based Terre Adélice (fittingly, Tessa is originally from Nyons), unexpected toppings are added to achieve umami perfection: olive oil, burnt rice, wasabi seeds, Espelette pepper, cardamom, and pepper (seasoned ice cream starting at €7.50).

The result? Unprecedented texture combinations playing against the cold and paired with kombuchas from ArchiPel (ice cream and beverage pairing starting at €13.50). A gourmet event imagined by Mélanie Rozencwajg, founder of FUMO, conceived as an evolving collaborative project featuring other chefs in the future.

FUMO : Pop-up glacier expérimental, 59 rue Charlot, Paris 4e.  Open from May 16 to September 20, Wednesday through Sunday, 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Who hasn't dreamed of flaunting the arch and infinite glamour of the Crazy Horse dancers? Paris's most desirable cabaret has just launched Crazy Attitude, the ultimate experience to book via Airbnb: 1.5 hours of total immersion behind the scenes in a small group with a dance class led by a Crazy Girl—who can top that? The meeting point is the cabaret entrance to start with a tour of the theater. There, a dancer tells you the history of the venue, shares a few secrets, and answers all your questions about outfits, choreography, and her pro tips for keeping up the pace and dancing in dizzying heels (by Louboutin, of course). Then, head to the official rehearsal studio for a private class you'll remember for the rest of your life...

We start with a few warm-ups to become aware of our bodies in space. Then your teacher for the day gives you advice on controlling your breathing, owning your queenly posture... and learning to walk with as much sensuality as a member of the troupe, swaying "as if you had a crocodile tail." No need to be shy: here, we step out of our comfort zone and work on our confidence with a true pro. Finally, learn a short group choreography to immortalize by placing your phone near the mirror: for us, a few leg moves and swaying strides to Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps! Honestly: weeks later, we’re still floating on cloud nine...

Masterclass Crazy Attitude, from €90. Information and bookings on lecrazyhorseparis.com. Crazy Horse, 12 avenue George V, Paris 8th.

Auguste Renoir invites himself to the Musée d’Orsay until July 19th with the exhibition Renoir and Love: Happy Modernity. Festive balls and summer guinguettes are the essence of the most colorful paintings by the Impressionist master, often described as the "painter of happiness." It’s impossible to miss the artist’s great masterpieces, from Bal du moulin de la Galette to Danse à la campagne, not forgetting the heart of the matter: Le Déjeuner des canotiers (Luncheon of the Boating Party). A fabulous exhibition, after which you definitely don't go home! The real chic? Prolong the ecstasy by hopping on the RER A for a timeless stopover on the Île des Impressionnistes…

We head to Maison Fournaise, the historical HQ where Monet, Sisley, and Renoir used to put the world to rights and paint by the water. It’s the indispensable cultural after-party: leaving the museum walls to find the light, the wind in the willows, and that chic guinguette atmosphere that hasn't aged a day. We sit on the balcony, under the striped hangings so recognizable from Renoir's most famous painting. It is right here that the painter brought Le Déjeuner des Canotiers to life. To match the canvas, we treat ourselves to the dedicated menu signed by Christian Le Squer, a three-star chef: crispy fried smelts to eat with your fingers, a melting pot-au-feu style chicken, and faisselle with amaretto cherries for a touch of retro indulgence. Magical!

Restaurant Maison Fournaise, Ile des Impressionnistes, 78400 Chatou. Menu Déjeuner des Canotiers, until July 19th, €39. Access: RER A, Chatou-Croissy station. Tuesday to Saturday from 12pm to 3pm then from 7pm to 10pm, and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm. Reservation at 01 30 09 05 30.

Renoir and Love Exhibition at Musée d'Orsay, 1 rue de la Légion d'Honneur, Paris 7th. From March 17th to July 19th. 

Until July 19th, the Petit Palais opens its doors to host the new exhibition Visages d’artistes, from Gustave Courbet to Annette Messager. Visitors are invited to discover the art of the portrait and self-portrait through a hundred works—paintings, sculptures, photographs, decorative arts—spread over nearly two centuries. The tour extends into the permanent collections and is distinguished by highlighting 13 contemporary female artists who exhibit their portraits as a response to the resolutely masculine history of the portrait. Thus, past and present dialogue for a fascinating exhibition that resonates with this central theme of the portrait.

Between heritage and modernity, this exhibition shakes up the codes of the portrait. Here, materials vibrate and faces come alive: each work stares at you, challenges you, and establishes a dialogue, like a hall of mirrors, a conversation with art. But the quintessence of the show is the self-portrait; we discover those of Gustave Courbet, Léon Bonnat, and Jacques-Émile Blanche, but also more contemporary works: a hyperrealistic sculpture by Hélène Duprat—a disturbing self-portrait that questions representation. A crush on Tenax et Stamina. This double-sided triptych isn't meant to just be looked at: it demands that you walk around it, confront it, stand on tiptoe. Apolonia Sokol, the artist, reinterprets two great paintings: Courbet’s The Sleepers and Pelez’s Grimaces and Miseries. She draws inspiration, reinvents, and turns the self-portrait into a powerful political and personal manifesto. In short, rush to the Petit Palais to discover this fascinating exhibition, full of surprises and twists.

Visages d'artistes, at Petit Palais, from March 18th, 2026 to July 19th, 2026.

In March, how about enjoying a waffle at sunset with a view over the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. At the bar of its restaurant Le Tout-Paris, Cheval Blanc now offers irresistible Goûters Gaufrés, a sweet and savory gourmet break designed to enjoy a slice of Parisian luxury. The best strategy is to book at 5:45pm so you can order the sweet waffles created by chefs Maxime Frédéric and Sacha Vadier, served until 6pm, and then continue with the savory versions imagined by William Béquin under the guidance of chef Arnaud Donckele.

Expect to pay €40 for a sweet waffle decorated with a rosette reminiscent of Notre-Dame de Paris, topped with chocolate sauce and cocoa, hazelnut praline spread or creamy caramel and vanilla milk jam, accompanied by hot chocolate infused with almond and hazelnut, vanilla and tonka or chai-style. The afterwork crowd may prefer the savory combination at €55, which includes a cocktail of your choice and a gluten-free savory waffle such as radish with horseradish and herbs, salmon with dill and lemon cream, or the ultimate temptation of truffle with goat cheese and rosemary. Be sure to toast on the balcony at sunset and capture the moment.

Les Goûters Gaufrés de Cheval Blanc at Le Tout-Paris, 8 quai du Louvre, Paris 1st arrondissement, served Monday to Saturday from 3:30pm to 6pm for sweet waffles and from noon to midnight for savory versions, to be enjoyed at the bar or on the balconies weather permitting, without reservation.
