Spring in Paris: Cherry Blossoms, Equestrian Thrills, and Hidden Urban Art Gems

Welcome to Things to Do in Paris, listeners! I'm Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting, laugh-out-loud sports nut who's traded soccer pitches for Paris's quirky vibes today, Sunday, March 22, 2026. The City of Light is buzzing with spring fever—mild temps around 12°C, cherry blossoms popping, and that post-winter glow making every stroll epic. Kick off your day with these hot picks: Dive into the thrills at Saut Hermès equestrian jumping at the Grand Palais, where elite riders leap like superheroes over massive obstacles—pure adrenaline for sports fans like me! Families, bounce into FunBox, the world's largest inflatable park at Westfield Rosny 2, with 4,000m² of slides and obstacle courses for €11 during Happiness Week. Art lovers, catch the Urban Art Fair's final day at Le Carreau du Temple, featuring street art legends like Shepard Fairey. Music heads, snag vinyl treasures and DJ sets at Paris Loves Vinyl at Espace Niemeyer. And don't miss the free Copenhagen Girls’ Choir concert at Sainte-Marie des Batignolles church—Nordic voices that'll give you chills! Local buzz: Sortiraparis reports smooth RER and Metro runs today, but watch for crowds at Grand Palais. New Easter chocolates are dropping, like Edwart Chocolatier's farm animal pralines—grab 'em before they hop away! Must-dos: Dare the Eiffel Tower's vertigo-inducing 60m-high suspension bridge for jaw-dropping views, or picnic under free-blooming sakura at Martin Luther King Park in the 17th—hanami Paris-style! Hidden gem: Hunt Brusk's free Don Quixote-inspired murals via the Urban Art Fair map. Local tip: Parisians skip lines by scanning QR codes for instant e-tickets—act like a local, save the drama!
