Welcome back to Things to Do in Paris, listeners! I'm your host, and boy, do we have an absolutely electric Sunday lined up for you here in the City of Light! Let me set the scene: it's February 8th, 2026, and Paris is absolutely buzzing with energy today. We've got that crisp winter vibe that makes you want to bundle up and dive into some seriously fun activities, and trust me, the city is delivering in spades. First up, if you're feeling athletic and adventurous, head straight to the Bois de Vincennes for Les Foulées de Vincennes, an incredible 10K race that's part family-friendly marathon madness. According to Sortir à Paris, this inclusive event features everything from leisurely 5K courses to competitive 10K runs, plus special children's events around the castle. It's the perfect blend of urban energy meets nature's charm, and honestly, watching people race through those woods is pure entertainment gold. Now, if you're more of a culture vulture, the Koji Fukushima Japanese Antiques Fair just kicked off in the Marais district and it's running through February 27th. We're talking vintage Japanese treasures, curated collections, and honestly, some of the coolest finds you'll unearth anywhere in Paris. It's like treasure hunting for the sophisticated listener. But wait, there's more! The IT Battle is happening right now at Westfield Rosny 2 shopping center. Picture this: breaking dance competitions, free qualifying rounds, live DJ sets, and all the hip-hop energy you can handle. According to our sources, this is basically the warm-up act before the world-breaking finals hit Montreuil in April. For the night owls and romance enthusiasts, don't sleep on AURA INVALIDES, an absolutely magical sound and light show at the iconic Dôme des Invalides. This nocturnal experience is pure Parisian enchantment, the kind of moment that makes you understand why people fall head over heels for this city. Here's my local tip for you, listeners: if you're exploring the Marais for that Japanese Antiques Fair, grab lunch at one of the neighborhood's hidden gem bistros tucked away on the smaller side streets. The locals know these spots, and you'll get authentic Parisian dining without the tourist crowds. Tomorrow's looking equally tasty with several Valentine's Day celebration previews starting to pop off around the city, so definitely tune back in to hear what romantic adventures and quirky events are coming your way.
