About this event
Twenty-two free observation evenings run across Paris parks until early September, with astronomical telescopes set up on the grass and AFA sky guides on hand to explain what you are looking at. Depending on conditions, expect lunar craters, star clusters, nebulae and summer planets. The 12 August session at Parc André Citroën adds a partial solar eclipse, starting earlier at 19:00.
Why we picked it
Free, unticketed and genuinely astonishing, and the 12 August partial solar eclipse turns one date in this run into a rare, calendar-worthy event rather than a routine park evening.
Free entry
Explicitly free and open to all, with no registration required, per the City of Paris.
