Summer is one of the best times to discover Paris.
The city comes alive with outdoor cafés, open-air concerts, festivals, long evenings, and countless opportunities to explore its world-famous landmarks under the sunshine. Whether you are visiting for a weekend or a longer holiday, Paris offers unforgettable experiences for every traveler.
Here are some of the best things to do in Paris during the summer.
1. Discover Montmartre Through Music
One of the most memorable summer experiences is Montmartre Enchanté, the official singing tour of Montmartre, created by French-Italian soprano Veronica Antonelli in 2013.
Rather than joining a traditional guided tour, visitors enjoy an immersive cultural experience where French songs, opera arias, and sacred music are performed a cappella, without microphones or amplification, using the remarkable natural acoustics of Montmartre's historic streets.
As you stroll through the charming cobbled lanes surrounding the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, music, history, and storytelling reveal the artistic soul of one of Paris's most iconic neighborhoods.
Veronica Antonelli is recognized as the only woman authorized to sing in Montmartre as part of this unique artistic experience.
At the end of the tour, every participant receives a numbered and personally signed Certificate of Enchantment, an exclusive souvenir celebrating this unforgettable journey.
2. Walk Along the UNESCO Banks of the Seine
Summer is the perfect season to explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Banks of the Seine.
Veronica Antonelli also offers an original Singing Walking Tour of the Île de la Cité and the Banks of the Seine, where visitors discover Notre-Dame Cathedral, Pont Neuf, historic bridges, and the birthplace of Paris through live music, architecture, and fascinating stories.
This unique experience combines heritage, opera, French songs, and breathtaking riverside scenery.
3. Watch the Sunset from Sacré-Cœur
The steps of the Sacré-Cœur offer one of the most spectacular panoramic views of Paris. During the summer months, visitors gather to admire the sunset as the city slowly lights up beneath them.
4. Enjoy Parisian Parks and Gardens
Escape the summer heat by relaxing in some of Paris's most beautiful green spaces, including:
Luxembourg Gardens
Tuileries Garden
Parc Monceau
Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
Jardin des Plantes
Perfect for picnics, family outings, or simply enjoying the Parisian lifestyle.
5. Cruise on the Seine
A river cruise remains one of the best ways to admire Paris during the summer. Daytime and evening cruises offer spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and many other historic monuments.
6. Experience Paris After Dark
Summer evenings are ideal for exploring Paris on foot.
Outdoor terraces, illuminated monuments, live performances, and cultural events create an unforgettable atmosphere throughout the city.
For an even more magical experience, join Montmartre Enchanté by Night, Veronica Antonelli's evening singing tour, created in 2017. From the Sacré-Cœur Basilica to the legendary Moulin Rouge, this enchanting walk combines music, history, and the beauty of Montmartre illuminated after sunset.
Why Choose an Authentic Cultural Experience?
Many visitors remember Paris not only for its monuments but also for the emotions they experienced while discovering them.
Through her award-winning Monuments Enchantés concept, presented at the World Humanities Conference in Brussels in 2017 and recognized in 2019 by the French National Commission for UNESCO, Veronica Antonelli offers a unique way to experience Paris through music, cultural heritage, and artistic excellence.
Whether you are travelling as a couple, with family, or on your own, her singing walking tours invite you to discover Paris with all your senses.
