Every year, the Centre culturel irlandais (CCI) in Paris celebrates Saint Patrick's Day, usually celebrated on March 17. Once again this year, the Centre Culturel Irlandais is offering a new series of events to be experienced from March 11 to 20, 2025 , during the new edition of its St. Patrick's Day festival.
