Mardi Gras 2024 takes place this year on February 13. But what exactly are we celebrating on this day? Why a Tuesday and not another day? Why do we dress up for Mardi Gras?
A tradition abandoned 27 years ago is back this Tuesday, November 7, 2023. At 9 a.m., watch the free changing of the Republican Guard in front of the Élysée Palace, every first Tuesday of the month.
Every year the Saint Nicholas is celebrated on December 6th. For the third year in a row, this traditional celebration comes to Paris. On the occasion, pâtissier Sébastien Gaudard unveils several treats and a celebration is held rue des Martyrs, in early December including candies for children and a marching band.
Wagashi, namagashi, monaka, yokan, manju... If all these terms mean nothing to you, a quick trip to Toraya is a must to discover their Japanese pastries, made in the greatest tradition.
