Attention: final days — these outing ideas end in May 2027!

The month of May in Paris is a great time to take it easy: with the public holiday bridges in place, you can take advantage of some great Parisian getaways, while the generally brighter weather encourages you to take advantage of Parisian outings. With spring in full swing, with its long evenings and mild temperatures, it's the perfect month to explore all that the Paris region has to offer. And as always, Paris never sleeps: every month, every day, every week, new events are added to an already packed scene.

And in the frenetic pace of the Parisian life, we can tend to push these tempting ideas further and further down the line. And when it’s too late, we regret not having seized them. And while each month brings its share of novelties, some events and venues are also about to come to an end. That’s why, for those who still haven’t found the time, we’ve whipped up our last‑chance guide.

You’ll find here the outing ideas that end in May 2027 in Paris: an ephemeral restaurant that may not return, a celebrated art retrospective that will close, or immersive shows that will head overseas. Seize the moment now, because these experiences, sometimes one‑offs, won’t be around tomorrow. Whether it’s for a single edition or forever, it’s now or never!

This guide focuses exclusively on events that wrap up in May 2027 or that are happening only this month. The selection is updated in real time, so past events are removed as they pass, making it easier to read (and reducing frustration!).

In short, make the most of these last few days!
