1. Odysséa Paris
Fancy doing something active this October? And for a good cause? Odyssea organises an annual run, of which proceeds go towards cancer research. There are two courses, a five and a 10 kilometre, the former open for walking too. It takes place at the Bois de Vincennes on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th October but be quick to sign up if you haven’t already, only entry closes at 10pm on October 2nd. What’s more, a good number of the Mômji team will be there, so be sure to keep your eye out!
2. Nuit Blanche
Satuday 6th October will see the return of Paris’ ‘Nuit Blanche’. You can expect special lights displays all across the city, from Les Invalides to Porte Dorée to La Villete, as well as an array of artistic talents and displays. It’s the perfect night to stroll across Paris and see what you find, and with it all being free it’s perfect for those on a student budget. If you’re interested in planning exactly what to see when, all of the information regarding displays and activities can be found online!
3. Montmarte Grape Harvest
You may well know that France is the wine capital of the world, but wine-making in Paris may not be all that familiar to you… From October 10th to 14th, the Montmartre Grape Harvest Festival returns to celebrate the small vineyards of the region. Exhibitions, concerts, parades and tasting are all to be expected in on of the city’s biggest events. Taste tours happen all day long on the Friday – Sunday whilst the Parade at Clos Montmartre vineyard is from 11:45 on Saturday 13th.
4. Hayley Kiyoko at Elysee Montmartre
If you’re a student who loves music and haven’t heard of Hayley Kiyoko this past year, you must have been living under a rock. The young American has taken the industry by storm since the release of her debut album, Expectations, and has a devoted fan base across Europe. So much so, in fact, that the tickets to her show in France’s capital on October 28th were snapped up in a heartbeat. However, if you do come across some tickets for the gig, it looks set to be a night not to miss.
5. Halloween at Disneyland Paris
How could we talk about events in October without mentioning Halloween! There’ll be plenty happening across the city centre, but the most talked about event takes place on the outskirts at the infamous Disneyland Paris. On October 31st baddies try and take over the park against Mickey and friends in a themed day full of fun, with music and a parade to close things off! If you’ve never been, Disneyland is an easy journey from the centre of Paris on the RER A.
We hope you have a great October and, don’t forget, Mômji is always hiring English-speakers like yourself! Find our more and APPLY NOW!
