What’s on this weekend from Saturday, October 3 to Sunday, October 4, 2026, in the Île-de-France region? If Paris has plenty of outings, the options spill over across the rest of Île-de-France as well. Whether in the Yvelines, the Val-de-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis, the Val-d’Oise, the Seine-et-Marne, the Essonne or the Hauts-de-Seine, each department is pulling out all the stops to offer a weekend full of activities that will delight young and old alike.
A chance to get away from it all for a few hours, not far from Paris, and discover places that are easily accessible by metro, RER, bus or Transilien. Walking tours, exhibitions, festivals, shows and cinema... the possibilities are endless.
What’s on the menu this week-end? The Fête de la Science with a host of activities to explore in the inner ring around Paris, plus the chocolate fair in Provins, a charity run, a music festival, and a new broth to try in the Hauts-de-Seine!
