This year, we celebrate 70 years of friendship with Rome ❤️ A very special bond between the City of Light and the Eternal City.

Happy New Year ! 🎉 What a night in the Champs-Elysées yesterday to start 2026 🙌 📷 JB Gurliat / Ville de Paris

It was historic ! On 12 December 2015, world leaders reached an agreement at the UN Climate Change Conference COP21 to tackle climate change and its negative impacts. Cities play a decisive role in ensuring a more sustainable future. 📷 Jean-Baptiste Gurliat / Ville de Paris

Remember the Pont Neuf wrapped? It was 40 years ago, made by iconic couple Christo and Jeanne Claude. Stay tuned! The bridge will be dressed-up again, this time by JR, who will create an amazing art work in June 2026!

Ten years since November 13th. United we stand. Fluctuat Nec Mergitur

Friday, November 13, 2015, Paris fell victim to the deadliest terrorist attacks ever carried out in France. Ten years later, to the day, Paris remembers and honors their memory.

Paris is remembering the victims of the November 13, 2015 attacks. To mark ten years since the terrorist attacks, the city is organizing a tribute at Place de la République. Starting November 8, people can come by to leave a candle or flower in memory of the victims.

That banquet scene from the Paris Olympics opening — pretty iconic, right? Barbara Butch, the Parisian DJ and activist, was one of the standout artists. And now she’s taking on the role of artistic director for Nuit Blanche Paris in 2026. Credit: @barbarabutch

In a few months, 72 amazing women scientists will have their names up there alongside the 72 men already listed. Because every kid—girl or boy—deserves to see that big dreams are for everyone.

Starting in September, Paris is putting over 200 homes on the market through a solidarity lease. The goal? To make homeownership possible for around €5,000 per square meter — even in neighborhoods where property prices are usually much higher. Pretty cool, right?

Paris cleaned up the Seine by fixing sewers, building stormwater basins, and pulling out trash—enough that people can swim there for the first time in 100 years. Social media needs the same: infrastructure fixes, not cosmetic tweaks.

Près de 100 000 baigneuses et baigneurs ont déjà eu la joie de se baigner cet été dans la Seine, et face à cet exceptionnel succès, j’ai décidé de prolonger l’ouverture du site de Grenelle jusqu'au 7 septembre, et celui de Bercy jusqu’au 14 septembre.

Since the season kicked off on July 5, 100 000 people have already taken a dip in the Seine!

Swimming in the Seine is an increasingly popular tourist attraction in the French capital, and a must-do for Parisians themselves.

The Tour de France is breaking tradition this year by having riders climb Montmartre during the final stage.

On ne s'en lasse plus ! 🤩 Le Tour de France nous fait revivre les sensations incroyables de l'épreuve cycliste des Jeux de Paris en passant par la rue Lepic et la Butte Montmartre !

This was the Tour de France in Paris!

What a night ! ✨🎉

Combining Dutch-inspired cycling infrastructure and traffic filtering, along with the creation of new pedestrian and green space, Place de Catalogne has undergone one of Paris' most striking urban metamorphoses—shifting from a harsh, car-dominated roundabout to the city's pioneering “urban forest.”🧵

NEW: Paris reopens the Seine River to public swimming after a century-long ban! “About 1,000 swimmers a day will be allowed to use 3 public bathing sites after €1.4bn clean-up program.” 14 more bathing spots beyond the city are planned. Big, bold leadership. @annehidalgo.bsky.social @paris.fr

Parole tenue ! Les sites de baignade dans la Seine sont ouverts ! 100 ans après son interdiction, la baignade est de nouveau possible. Un moment historique pour Paris et un héritage majeur des Jeux pour les Parisiennes et les Parisiens.

Paris WAS ALWAYS cool. But with public swimming in the Seine, so many street without cars, biking everywhere, cleaner air and water, Paris is cooler now.

🏊‍♂️ A Paris, la première baignade dans la Seine depuis 100 ans a enfin eu lieu : «Depuis Chirac on entend que ça va se faire, je pensais crever avant» Un moment historique pour lequel Libé a mouillé le maillot :

J’ai testé pour vous : la baignade dans la Seine en plein Paris (et c’est trop bien).

Seine reopens to Paris swimmers after century-long ban

Parisians rushed for a dip in the Seine on Saturday (July 5, 2025) as the authorities opened the river to public swimming for the first time since 1923 after an extensive clean-up operation spurred on by it being used as a venue in the Paris Olympics. www.thehindu.com/news/interna...

Bravo! #Paris Mayor #AnneHidalgo is not one to let critics or pessimists get in the way of her plan to transform the French capital from a polluted megacity into an oasis of urban sustainability. www.politico.eu/article/sein... #Seine #Heatwaves #SmartCities #ActOnClimate #swimming

🏊🏻 Un an après les athlètes olympiques et sous étroite surveillance, le grand public a enfin pu renouer samedi avec les joies de la baignade dans la Seine en plein coeur de Paris, où celle-ci était interdite depuis 1923. L'eau est à 25 degrés, selon la mairie.

I’m being asked a LOT if the excellent exhibition book that assembles the main content, including my writing + the profiles of the 34 cities, can be purchased on-line & shipped. So far it’s just sold at the Exhibition but your interest might make them think that…cc @paris.fr @annehidalgo.bsky.social

Air performed in Paris last night: a magical night for Parisians !

Paris est placée en vigilance rouge canicule depuis aujourd'hui à 12h. Pour faire face à cette situation extraordinaire, nous ouvrons ce soir la totalité des parcs et jardins pour toute la nuit. Retrouvez toutes les informations ici : www.paris.fr/pages/profit...

Like other concerted development zones, the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul district is undergoing a reinvention. By the end of 2026, the former hospital will become a vibrant, open, and environmentally friendly neighborhood.

During the Olympics a lot of people said that swimming in the Seine would never happen, and €1.5bn was a crazy amount of money - well, it did happen and the final goal was never just Olympics, it was to make the river clean enough for locals to swim in it. From next week, we can to do just that 🏊‍♀️

43% in emissions. That’s the reduction achieved by Helsinki after shutting down its coal-fired power stations. A bold decision, in line with the commitments made under the Paris Agreement in 2015. And Helsinki is not acting alone.

On Sunday, July 6th, the Tropical Carnival of Paris will celebrate its 25th anniversary! Dive into the heart of the Amazon for a spectacular edition in the vibrant colors of Brazil and France. Come dressed up and with make up, be ready to dance!

Bastille Day is going to be epic! A thousand drones will light up the sky during the fireworks, breaking a world record! This year’s celebration honors the friendship between France and Brazil, with a one-of-a-kind show featuring both French and international artists.

On June 19th, a monumental work by Shepard Fairey will be unveiled at the Paris City Hall. Remember: in 2015, during COP21, Shepard Fairey, alias Obey, made a lasting impression with « Earth Crisis, » a monumental globe suspended from the Eiffel Tower.

Wow! Seems like our well-known "bancs Davioud" had little brothers. And little Parisians enjoyed it today!

Adèle Castillon, Air, Eddy de Pretto, Zamdane… The Fnac Live Paris festival is back from July 2 to 4, 2025! The lineup includes 20 free concerts on the forecourt and inside the Paris City Hall.
