60 Free Things To Do In Paris-02
Part two of a long list of things to do in Paris, when you’re either broke or don’t want go broke visiting the City of Lights…
21. Learn about African-American history in Paris. Paris attracted loads of African Americans in the past, who were artists, musicians, and painters. The Latin Quarter is a good place to start, or St Germain des Pres. Some African-Americans who had a vital role in the artistic and intellectual scene and lived there were: James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Henry Tanner, Miles Davis, and L. Mailou Jones. Josephine Baker was an American, too..you can visit where she danced and had Paris at her feet.
22. Find a piece of Africa in Paris. Can’t afford a trip to Africa? Fine-Africa is in Paris! The more upscale African boutiques and neighborhood is around Chateau Rouge, where North African and Senegalese neighborhoods abound. Good places to wander are from the metro station Barbes/Rochchouart to the metro Marcadet/Poissonnier, along the Blvd Barbes. There are great neighborhoods all over town, actually. Another favorite is from the metro stop Poissonniere (different stop than above) walking up towards Rochenchouart Metro.These are great neighborhoods to find authentic African food at a very low price, African crafts, African fabrics..the window shopping is great. And the women, in there beautiful dresses and headwraps, are the most beautiful women in Paris.
23. While you are in the neighborhood, walk up the steps to the Sacre Coeur Basilica, and listen to a free concert-there is one every single day. The Basilica itself is beautiful, once you make it up all the steps. (Hint: walk up the middle set of stairs, not the side stairs,which seem to be used as restrooms by men). The Basilica is full of tourists taking photos, outdoors and in, but it’s a peaceful place and the mosaics are going to leave you speechless. Plus, nuns sing beautiful music in French every single day. Something you don’t want to miss.
24. Speaking of churches, put a visit to the American Church of Paris. Yes, even if you aren’t religious, this place is a must see. This is the place to meet expats from around the world-it serves as a community center for people from 50 countries. They have bulletin boards there and tons of info on free stuff to do in Paris. An expat tradition.
25. Go to a concert at the American Church of Paris. They host international music celebrities as well as religious music, and most of it’s free.
26. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Alot of churches have free meal programs for the homeless(of which there are thousands in the city). The American Church of Paris serves a very good hot lunch to homeless people on Friday afternoons..just show up to either set up or clean up. The Anglican Church of St. George also has a program.
27. Eat lunch with Parisians. The St. George Church has mass at 10:30 am Sunday, and afterwards they have a big lunch for people. You sign up beforehand, and they pair you up with Parisians for the meal. Non religious people are welcome, and you will find the conversations you have open up more doors of cool things to do in Paris.
28. More free music! You can literally hear music for free everyday of the week while you are in Paris. If you like classical music and chamber music in particular, you’ll love the free concerts at the St. Chapelle church, which is located across from the Notre Dame cathedral. Concert times are posted just as you enter.
29. Notre Dame cathedral. It’s huge, it’s beautiful, and it’s free. Forget going up the towers, though. it’s crowded and you can get a much better, free view of the city, at…
30. Georges Pompidou National Centre Of Art and Culture. You have to pay to get in the museum (and it’s worth the ticket price), but you can go straight up to the top and look at an amazing view of the city fro free , by taking the escalators up as far as you can go. You can look at free art, too. Look down towards the building itself and you will see a water and sculpture garden on the floor directly below you, and you’ve got the best view to see it properly. There’s more free art around the building itself. Go around the side of the building, to the right of the front entrance, and you will see a big sculpture garden, and all the sculptures are moving around using water and solar power. So cool. There’s also art performances/exhibits that are free, right in front of the entrance, and they are interactive. The entire museum is free on the first Sunday of the month and for anyone under 18 years old everyday.
31. The above center has a free library, and unlike other libraries in Paris that you have to pay to use, it’s totally free. It’s full of students, too-so be prepared for a line if it’s a weekend. Good English books and magazines.
32. Free art films. The Centre hosts several free art films a year. I saw one when I was there which was in French, but I loved it. And I’d never have the chance to see that at home. Look at the program online for times and dates.
33. Get a loaf of bread and cheese and have a picnic while watching the buskers and street entertainers in front of the Centre above. It’s free, and you’ll be joined by hundreds of other people doing the same thing. I watched a clown act and a magician with a dog when I was there. Wonderful.
33. Free theatre. Go to a play-for free. The Comedie Francaise is Paris’ oldest theatre, and they not only sell discount tickets, but they let people in free after the play has just started if they have empty seats. There are lots of free plays at all the universities, too.
34.If you just want to hear opera, and don’t mind not actually seeing the performers, you can attend the opera for free. The largest opera house in Paris actually sells tickets very cheap to sit in seats you can’t see the opera itself in-but the acoustics are fantastic. They give away tickets after the first part of the opera. Best part is-other than free opera- and no one cares if you are wearing Birkenstocks or your Tevas to the opera because no one can see you! This was one of my favorite things I did in Paris.
35. Free jazz..for 10 days! If you time your visit for September, as I did, you’ll be able to catch free jazz concerts, with well known jazz musicians from all over the world, for ten nights in a row. The concerts are all at or around the Villette Park. There are smaller venues at local bars in the center of the city, too. I went to three jazz concerts for free when I was in Paris. Check it out on www.villette.com.
36. Get into Buddhism. A little known place to visit is the Kagyu-Dzong Temple, which is a Tibetan Buddhist Temple on the Rue la Centure du Lac Daumesnil. It’s gorgeous, and they have retreats, classes, and intro to meditation classes there. But you can visit the temple for free, and it’s a very colorful and tranquil place. Look them up online to make sure you show up at an hour they will let you in. www.kagyu-dzong.com
37. If you like Buddhist imagery and art, then you can’t afford to miss the free Buddhist Pantheon Galleries of Japan and China, housed in a wing of the Guimet museum of Asian Art. The Guimet museum costs money, except for on the first Sunday of the month when it is free-but the Buddhist Pantheon Galleries are always free.
38. Gasp in awe at the tidiness and beauty of a free Japanese garden. It’s located in the Hotel Heidelbach near the Guimet museum, and it’s free. You can just sit around and hang out in there and meditate.
39. No trip to Paris is complete without a trip to Chinatown. You’ll be surprised how the neighborhood suddenly changes, if you walk there from a neighborhood next door. It’s cheap, colorful, and makes for surprising window shopping. There are people from Asian cultures from all over the world-Thailand, Phillipines, Korea…the list goes on and on. You can find anything there. But even if you just walk around and look, it’s worth the trip. There are two Chinatowns-but I liked them both. One is in the 13th e. and one is in the 3rd e. The 13th e. is more expensive and has more stuff geared to people with more to spend. The 3rd e. is more authentic, with traditional food shops and all the sights-and smells-than come along with them.
40. Celebrate the New Year in style- Chinese style, that is! I didn’t time my trip to Paris for this, but from what I heard while there, I wished I had. The date of the Chinese New Year changes every year, but it’s usually in Jan. or Feb. There are the usual parades, parties, special foods, fireworks, and public performances.

Cute baby animals bring visitors to zoos and aquariums. What happens when they grow up?
арбитраж трафика обучение
One of the best things that can happen to a zoo or aquarium is for one of their resident animals to go viral.
Just look at the multi-hour-long lines to see Moo Deng, a pygmy hippo in Thailand who has become an internet sensation following her July 2024 birth. The sassy animal is now a full-on brand, with Khao Kheow Open Zoo selling Moo Deng merchandise and even releasing a single “by” the hippo in multiple languages.
Meanwhile, Pesto — a baby king penguin who was eating more fish than his parents by the time he was a few weeks old — is also an online celebrity, with human stars like Olivia Rodrigo and Katy Perry stopping by to meet him.
But what happens when these cute animals become, well, less cute? The Sea Life Melbourne aquarium has already been planning for the next phase of Pesto’s life — and answering questions from the public about his changing appearance.
It’s normal for king penguins to lose their feathers by the time they’re about a year old and become confident swimmers. As a result, a spokesperson for the aquarium says, guests have started asking why Pesto looks different — or why they can’t find him at all.
“We are getting a few guests thinking we have moved him off display completely,” says the spokesperson. “Most of the team’s time is spent pointing him out to guests because he looks so different now.”
The bottom line is that cute baby animals make money.
Admission tickets are only the beginning. Many zoos and aquariums offer special “behind the scenes” or “zookeeper for a day” packages at much higher prices. At Sea Life Melbourne, standard entry tickets for adults start at $51, while the Penguin Passport — which include a 45-minute tour of the birds’ area and a look at how their food is prepared — is $199.
The real jackpot, though, is merchandise. Stuffed animals, T-shirts, fridge magnets, keychains, kids’ books and other branded products are a major way for zoos and aquariums to make money.
Scores of unexploded World War II bombs discovered under children’s playground
lucky jet игра
Scores of unexploded bombs dating from World War II have been recovered from a children’s playground in northern England after a chance discovery.
Local officials in the town of Wooler, Northumberland called in bomb disposal experts after workers involved in a planned overhaul of Scotts Play Park found unexploded ordnance, the parish council said in a statement sent to CNN on Monday.
Two bombs were initially removed by the British Army, the UK Ministry of Defense said in a statement. The parish council was then advised that a full survey of the area was required, according to a council spokesperson.
Bomb disposal company Brimstone Site Investigation then uncovered 65 10-pound practice bombs and smoke cartridges on the first day of works, with a further 90 practice bombs recovered on the second day.
The company told CNN that the bombs date from World War II.
According to the parish council, all of the bombs need to be found and removed before the park can be reopened. It said 174 devices had been found so far.
Look of the Week: Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl pants signal the return of flares
кракен
This year’s Super Bowl halftime show was hardly a fashion extravaganza, with headliner Kendrick Lamar keeping things simple in a backwards cap and motorbike-style varsity jacket, which he kept on throughout.
And without the costume-change roulette we’ve come to expect of halftime shows, the internet fixated on one item in particular: his jeans.
While not quite the bell-bottoms of decades past (the 1970s and the 2000s, specifically), the Compton-born rapper’s washed denim pants flared out at the knee and dragged beneath his heels along the stage at Caesars Superdrome in New Orleans. His silhouette stood in stark contrast to that of record producer Mustard, who made a brief cameo in a pair of outsized jeans straight from the West Coast hip-hop playbook.
Opinions were, as ever, divided on social media. Some users described Lamar’s flares as “women’s jeans” and “Hannah Montana pants,” earning him comparisons to everyone from Jennifer Aniston to country singer Lainey Wilson. Others joked that their moms were looking for a similar pair or that they nodded to millennials, for whom flares were a teenage staple.
But those suggesting his style was outdated, or gender-inappropriate, may not have been paying attention to the recent resurgence of flares — in both womenswear and menswear. After all, Lamar’s jeans were designed by one of the most influential figures in modern fashion, Celine’s former creative director Hedi Slimane, before he departed the French label in October.

Astronomers briefly thought Elon Musk’s car was an asteroid. Here’s why that points to a broader problem
skraken darknet
Seven years after SpaceX launched Elon Musk’s cherry red sports car into orbit around our sun, astronomers unwittingly began paying attention to its movements once again.
Observers spotted and correctly identified the vehicle as it started its extraterrestrial excursion in February 2018 — after it had blasted off into space during the Falcon Heavy rocket’s splashy maiden launch. But more recently, the car spawned a high-profile case of mistaken identity as space observers mistook it for an asteroid.
Several observations of the vehicle, gathered by sweeping surveys of the night sky, were inadvertently stashed away in a database meant for miscellaneous and unknown objects, according to the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center.
An amateur astronomer noticed a string of data points in January that appeared to fit together, describing the orbit of a relatively small object that was swooping between the orbital paths of Earth and Mars.
The citizen scientist assumed the mystery object was an undocumented asteroid and promptly sent his findings to the MPC, which operates at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as a clearinghouse that seeks to catalog all known asteroids, comets and other small celestial bodies. An astronomer there verified the finding.
And thus, the Minor Planet Center logged a new object, asteroid “2018 CN41.”
Within 24 hours, however, the center retracted the designation.
The person who originally flagged the object realized their own error, MPC astronomer Peter Veres told CNN, noticing that they had, in fact, found several uncorrelated observations of Musk’s car. And the center’s systems hadn’t caught the error.

Your way of telling the whole thing in this paragraph is actually fastidious,
all be able to simply know it, Thanks a lot.
