Everything You Need to Do in Paris in March

As the sunny days return and daylight stretches longer into the evening, March is shaping up to be a month full of wonderful surprises in the French capital. Your favorite Do It Team has put together a selection of uplifting activities to make the most of the feel-good vibes of March. On the agenda: a designer pop-up featuring stunning pieces at discounted prices, the return of Léo Walk’s dance show, weekly jazzy gatherings at the Ritz, a new exhibition dedicated to Nan Goldin at the Grand Palais, not to mention a whole series of wellness outings and gourmet breaks. Are you in ?

Chanel, Hermès, Dior, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent or Gucci at reduced prices during Fashion Week, who could say no ? Founder, editor and influencer Lenush Lebedeva is one of those ultra-stylish women with an undeniable taste for beautiful things. Inspired by her many travels and her resolutely cosmopolitan lifestyle, the entrepreneur launched Lifestylepop.com in 2023, offering carefully curated second-hand luxury treasures online. The ultimate thrill is that this stronghold of slow fashion is setting up its finds right in the heart of Le Marais for a limited-time pop-up store that promises to attract every fashion lover in town. “This pop-up is the expression of our commitment to making luxury fashion more accessible and responsible, while creating an opportunity for a passionate community to connect,” says Lenush Lebedeva.

The dates are set from March 6 to 9, and you will want to do a little online scouting beforehand to snap up the very best deals, hoping your favorites make it into the Paris selection. Leather jackets, leather pants, monogram belts and of course designer bags will be available during this exclusive sale, featuring both confidential labels and major couture houses. Among our obsessions are a SUBLIME Chanel Pearl Wallet on Chain in almost-new condition at €1,950, an Armani denim skirt at €38.40, a Reformation cropped top at €60, an Isabel Marant Étoile floral blouse at €70, a yellow Chloé wool collar at €50, lined Hermès clogs at €580, a yellow satin Tory Burch dress at €210 and sky-high Louboutin wedge sandals at €350. It is the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to authenticated, character-filled pieces within a sustainable luxury approach that is as good for your wallet as it is for the planet.

Pop-up Lifestylepop.com, from March 6 to 9, 10:30am to 7:30pm, 21 rue Debelleyme, Paris 3e. Lifestylepop.com will also be at Salon du Vintage on March 14 and 15.

This is the chic new formula for enjoying a sublime evening at the Ritz without necessarily spending a fortune. Every Wednesday, the legendary hotel on Place Vendôme presents Live at the Ritz, where the Bar Vendôme welcomes live musicians with the intention of reviving the dinner concerts once orchestrated by César Ritz. You simply choose the universe that appeals to you, as the theme changes every week between French Riviera, which we tested with a divine singer and her musicians and which returns on March 4, April 1 and 22, May 20 and June 17, Cosmopolitan Night on March 11, April 8, May 6 and June 3, Special Guest evenings with a surprise guest on March 18, April 15, May 13 and June 10, and of course Jazz on March 25, April 29, May 27 and June 24.

For €130, you take your seat at 8pm near the stage, either on the bar side or under the glass roof, and enjoy an atmosphere that feels completely out of time and space, like a beautiful vacation evening. You begin with a signature cocktail, then savor a starter, main course and dessert by Chef Jérôme Legras that vary according to the theme of the night. For French Riviera, the menu features Mediterranean dishes such as sea bream carpaccio with citrus, sea bass fillet or veal loin with gremolata, followed by a dessert of your choice among the Ritz’s signature pastries, with an eternal crush on the blueberry cheesecake. We are already tempted to go back.

Live at the Ritz takes place every Wednesday from 8pm to 11pm at the Ritz, 15 place Vendôme, Paris 1er. The three-course menu is €130 or you may order à la carte. Online reservations are recommended.

After selling out at 13e Art last October,  Léo Walk and his company La Marche Bleue reopen the doors of their “Maison d’en face” with new exceptional dates. Considering the success of their previous venues last year, including the Théâtre du Châtelet and Salle Pleyel, this renewed enthusiasm comes as no surprise.

The dates may be new, but the recipe remains the same, as the choreographer invites the audience to dive into the intimacy of everyday life and observe the poetry of existence through music and bodies in motion. On stage, couples and friendships form and fall apart, sometimes bringing us back to our own experiences. The combination of the minimalist set with its dreamlike curves and Léo Walk’s choreography, light yet deeply meaningful, creates a spellbinding effect. Through dance, the performers draw our attention to the beauty of small gestures and overlooked details, as well as to the violence of ordinary situations we often prefer to forget.

La Marche Bleue - Maison d’en face par Léo Walk at 13e Art, 30 place d’Italie, Paris 13e  on March 10, 11, 12, 15, 16 and 17 at 8pm. 

From €49 – Book now at https://fave.co/4u1XRWY.

If you do not go to Venice, Venice will come to you. Stern Ristorante, the excellent Italian address hidden in the remarkable Passage des Panoramas with its Philippe Starck décor reminiscent of a cabinet of curiosities paying tribute to its former life as an engraving workshop, extends the spirit of Carnival with its four- or six-course Menu Veneziano at €105 or €160. Chef Alessandro Fornaro draws inspiration from Venetian gastronomy to create dishes that are as delicate as they are colorful.

Close your eyes and you are on the lagoon savoring radicchio and borlotti beans with apple horseradish and bagnetto verde, a fragrant Venetian fish soup with burrata ravioli, creamy spider crab and artichoke risotto, roasted sea bass with lemon mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, and even the traditional “alla veneziana” poultry livers and hearts with chickpea cream and fried rosemary. For dessert, unforgettable apple fritters with a light sabayon feel like a final caress. Special mention goes to the attentive service.

Stern Ristorante, 47 passage des Panoramas, Paris 2e. Menu Veneziano served for lunch and dinner until March 21. Six-course menu €160, four-course menu €105. Open Tuesday to Saturday. © Riccardo Andreatta - Fausto Mazza

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of our daily lives, even at the gym. At Elancia, it simplifies training and makes it entirely personalized. There are no generic programs or improvised sessions here, as a full fitness assessment upon registration allows a tailor-made program adapted to your body and your goals. A connected machine analyzes everything from muscle mass to body fat and water levels, identifies your weak points and can even estimate your body’s real age.

Once training begins, machines automatically adjust weight, repetitions and settings via a connected key or app, so everything is perfectly calibrated. There are no random weights, poorly adjusted machines or sessions where you do not know what to do. Everything is designed to help you progress without stress, with a program that evolves every six to eight weeks thanks to included follow-up and group classes ranging from strength training and HIIT cardio to mobility and even occasional sophrology sessions. Even in March, you can get back into shape without overthinking it and for less than €100 per month.

Elancia, 33 rue de Caumartin, Paris 9e. Ouvert du lundi au dimanche de 6h à 23h. , open Monday to Sunday from 6am to 11pm, with memberships starting at €89 per month.

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.

A packed terrace in the heart of Le Marais, €1 espresso at the counter and perfectly imperfect vintage décor. We are obviously talking about La Perle, aka the place to be during Fashion Week. This month, the legendary café, a true artists’ hideout located at the corner of rue Vieille du Temple and rue de la Perle, is launching its very own literary prize. The concept is simple and irresistible : 10 books, 1 winner and one fiery night of debate to decide between them.

Born from the imagination of novelist and screenwriter Barbara Israël and supported by an exceptional jury including Eva Ionesco, Jérôme Dreyfuss and our favorite actor-director Nicolas Maury of Dix Pour Cent, this prize celebrates freedom and creativity. The shortlisted books will be put under the spotlight and debated on the evening of Wednesday, March 18, in an atmosphere true to the spirit of the café, meaning lively, convivial and unapologetically free. Everyone is invited to share their opinion and help select the winner among ten feverish and rebellious novels.

From the futuristic and sensual Mille millilitres de Ganymède by Philippe Savet to the electric nightlife immersion DJ, portrait de l’artiste en animal nocturne by Anne F. Garreta, and the intimate and political fresco La Matière humaine by John Jefferson Selve, there is still time to devour them all before debating like a poet on fire. And what does the winning author receive. A bottle of Ruinart rosé, a truffle pizza and a jar of fries every month for a year. For that alone, we wish we had Zola’s talent.

Prix Littéraire La Perle, 78 rue Vieille du Temple, Paris 3e. Wednesday, March 18 at 6pm, open to the public.

A confidential spa just steps from the Champs-Élysées, nestled inside Hôtel Monsieur George in softly lit vaulted cellars, is always a good idea. Welcome to Spa Monsieur George by Lymphéa, a discreet address where you come to relax and recenter away from the Parisian pace. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere shifts as soft light, silence and exposed stone invite you to slow down.

Because men also deserve self-care, the new Tonic Barbe & Visage treatment at €120 revives tired features and releases tension in the neck and jaw while toning facial muscles through ultra-precise massage techniques. During 45 minutes, Odacité products are applied, including a mint cleansing gel, a hydrating serum and a purifying beard spray, along with a relaxing upper back and shoulder massage for total unwinding. Skin feels renewed, the beard is deeply hydrated and the face completely relaxed. Extend the experience in the sauna or hammam to end the moment beautifully. It is the kind of address you love recommending to a brother, colleague or partner to encourage them to take care of themselves.

Spa Monsieur George, 17 rue Washington, Paris 8th arrondissement. Reservations at 01.88.60.94.96 or directly online.

Renowned for her photography and her intimate, vulnerable imagery, Nan Goldin is in the spotlight at the Grand Palais with This Will Not End Well, an exhibition that, for the very first time, offers a comprehensive overview of her work as a filmmaker. There is no linear path here, but rather a show that mirrors the artist herself, unfolding across pavilions designed by architect Hala Wardé, her long-time collaborator. The result is a true intimate village nestled within one of Paris’s most beautiful museums, extending all the way to the Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière.

In total, six slideshows and videos invite visitors on a deeply personal journey through her life, friendships, love stories and even her battles. Among them are her seminal work The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, as well as The Other Side and Memory Lost, a powerful exploration of the darkest sides of drug addiction through withdrawal. Nothing is left to chance, and each structure has been conceived in dialogue with the work it houses to create a perfect conversation between architecture and art. The most striking example is Sisters, Saints, Sibyls, a testimony on family trauma and the taboo of suicide, presented as a monumental installation within the chapel, a mystical setting that confronts themes of resilience and grief.

This Will Not End Well at Grand Palais, 17 avenue du Général Eisenhower, Paris 8e. arrondissement. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 7:30pm, with late opening on Fridays until 10pm.

Imagine a gallery filled with the future stained glass windows of the iconic Notre-Dame de Paris, right in the heart of the Grand Palais… As part of the exhibition Claire Tabouret, D’un Seul Souffle, the artist commissioned to create the cathedral’s contemporary stained glass windows – after it was devastated by fire in 2019 – presents seven-meter-high models of the six windows that will soon adorn the monument.

The idea ? To invite the public to take part in this historic project by offering a first glimpse of these extraordinary works. Covering the walls, the stained glass windows take center stage: majestic, colorful, filled with rosettes and motifs that create a gentle transition with the 19th-century windows. All of this unfolds within an immersive scenography, allowing visitors to dive into the unique creative energy of the workshops. A rare preview of these exceptional pieces, which will never again be seen this closely once installed. Crafted by the master glassmakers of Atelier Simon-Marq, they will be sealed into the stone walls of the legendary cathedral at the end of 2026.

The bonus ? Designed as a double exhibition, the visit ends in Gallery 9 with Eva Jospin’s sculptures through Grottesco. Two birds, one stone !

Claire Tabouret, D’un Seul Souffle at Grand Palais, 1 avenue Winston Churchill, Paris 8e. Until March 15. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 10:30pm, late opening Friday until 10pm. €15.

We’ve already sung the praises of La Fondation countless times : a true multi-purpose hotel in the Batignolles district, offering rooms, restaurants, an incredible rooftop, a XXL spa with gym and pool open to the public, as well as coworking spaces. But the big news is the opening of its fine dining restaurant Les Ailes, still led by the venue’s friendly chef Thomas Rossi.

Perched on the 8th floor with an extraordinary panoramic view, the evening setting channels a Mad Men vibe : Japanese-inspired wood, leather and green velvet create a cozy atmosphere, perfect for both group dinners and romantic evenings. Passing by the bar, you’ll spot tempting cocktails such as the Green Matcha (Vodka Romanov, homemade vanilla and matcha syrup, lemon juice, kiwi purée, aquafaba, €20) or the Pantone 4017 (Brugal 1888 rum, mead, passion fruit, homemade vanilla syrup, verjuice, aquafaba, €20).

Even better : the cuisine lives up to the promise, with creative, travel-inspired plates reflecting the chef’s international background. Our favorites include crispy mushroom tart with pickled chanterelles and horseradish mushroom cream (€26), poached foie gras with acidic pear gel, tarragon and cinnamon cotton candy, duck jus with amaretto (€34), sea bass crudo with whisky corn cream and truffled vinaigrette (€28), scallops with Puy-de-Dôme lentil ragout, guanciale and coral-and-champagne jus (€42), or truffled poultry with crosnes and herb jus (€39). For dessert, a refreshing kiwi creation (€17) ends the meal on a tangy note, unless you prefer the richness of grand cru chocolate and buckwheat (€18). A total success !

Les Ailes Restaurant, 8th floor of La Fondation, 40 rue Legendre, Paris 17e.  Open Tuesday to Saturday, 7:30pm–12am. Bar open from 10pm to midnight. +33 1 78 77 70 00.
