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 hectic pace of Parisian life, we can tend to put off too long those concepts we've been craving. And when it's too late, we regret not having been able to take advantage of them. So, for those of you who haven't yet found the time, we've put together our last-chance guide.
Here you'll find ideas for outings in Paris ending in May 2025: an ephemeral restaurant that may never come back, an acclaimed art retrospective that will come to an end, or immersive shows that will be exported elsewhere. Enjoy them now, because these sometimes unique experiences will be gone tomorrow. Whether for one edition or forever, it's now or never!
This guide exclusively features events ending in May 2025, or taking place only this month. The selection is updated in real time so that past events are deleted as they occur, for greater readability (and less frustration!).
In short, make the most of these last few days!
