Alright, so the weekend was creeping up, you know how it is, and I suddenly thought, “Man, I gotta do something, get out there in Paris.” Just sitting around wasn’t going to cut it.
So, first thing, I grabbed my phone. My usual go-to move. I opened up a browser, thinking, “Okay, what’s the plan?” My fingers just automatically typed in something like “paris events this weekend”. Pretty standard stuff, right?
Got a whole bunch of results back, like, tons. Honestly, a bit overwhelming at first. Lots of the usual big museum stuff, fancy concerts… some of it looked okay, but I was kinda hoping for something a bit different, maybe something outdoors if the weather held up.
Digging Through the Noise
I started scrolling, tapping on a few things that sounded interesting. Some were way too expensive, others just didn’t grab me. You know how it goes, you’re swiping past endless lists.
Then I tried tweaking my search a bit. Added words like “free” or “market” or “live music”. That helped filter things down a little. I spent a good chunk of time just sifting through descriptions.
Found a few possibilities:
- Some kind of outdoor market over in the Marais.
- Talk about a small music thing happening near Canal Saint-Martin.
- An art fair, but looked kinda busy.
Okay, so now I had options. That market sounded pretty cool. I tried to find more specifics – like, exactly where it was supposed to be and the opening times. Had to piece together info from a couple of different mentions I saw. The music thing also sounded nice, maybe more for the evening.
Making the Weekend Plan
After weighing it up, looking at where things were, I decided the market felt like the right vibe for Saturday afternoon. Get some fresh air, maybe grab a bite. The music thing I kept in my back pocket as a maybe for Saturday night, depending on how I felt.
So yeah, that was my process. Took a bit of digging around online, jumping between searches, but feels good to have a rough plan now. Beats ending up wandering aimlessly, right? Looking forward to checking out that market.
