About this event
Twenty-two free evenings run with the French Astronomical Association, moving between twenty Paris parks. Guides set up telescopes for lunar craters, nebulae and star clusters; bring binoculars if you have them, or nothing at all. Two dates stand out: the Nuit des Étoiles at Parc Montsouris on 7 August, and a partial solar eclipse watch at Parc André Citroën on 12 August, starting earlier at seven.
Why we picked it
Free, expert-guided, ten separate August dates across the city, and it includes Paris's public viewing of the 12 August partial eclipse — strong repeat-visit value.
Free entry
Gratuit, open to all, no equipment needed. Confirmed on paris.fr.
