Don't think that just because summer is about to end that things will be a lot less busy in Paris. Sure, the past few months saw many exciting things happen, but the fun will continue this September 2022, just in time for the start of autumn! This new season may mean cooler weather and more layers of clothing, but the events and activities will keep rolling in. Paris Fashion Week, for instance, will be highly-anticipated and will likely invite many more people to the city next month. The La Parisienne race, on the other hand, is a unique sports event you won't want to miss.
International Artists Live in Paris
Music fans in Paris will have a lot to look forward to this September 2022. Just like in previous months, various international artists are set to perform live in the French capital. Leading the pack is the legendary French chanteuse, Celine Dion, who will take to the stage at La Defense Arena starting September 1 up until September 10. American singer-songwriter James Taylor, on the other hand, will perform at L'Olympia on September 29. And on the same day, at the Zenith de Paris, American rapper Machine Gun Kelly will have the audience jumping up and down with his famous tracks.
Les Traversées du Marais (September 2 to 4)
On the first weekend of the month, from September 2 to 4, 2022, Les Traversées du Marais will take over the entire
Marais district. The event will feature over 47 cultural events throughout the neighborhood, ranging from film screenings and live performances to all sorts of fascinating workshops.

Omnivore Food Festival (September 10 to 12)
While
last month has the entire city of Paris chugging beer during the Paris Beer Festival, this September 2022 will have the city eating their hearts out.

La Parisienne (September 11)
If you ever need proof of how athletic the fair sex can be, then pay close attention to La Parisienne, an all-female race here in Paris. Set on September 11, 2022, women of different ages, sizes, and more will compete in 7-kilometer and 10-kilometer races. And that's just the beginning. After the race, three days of various athletic events are open to all the sporty Parisiennes out there. They include yoga classes, workout sessions, and the like. It's a unique event wherein the women of the city get to show off their physical prowess to the rest of the world!
European Heritage Days (September 17 to 18)
Among the
most important holidays in Paris next month is European Heritage Day, held from September 17 to 18, 2022. On these two days, many of the city's most iconic landmarks will be open to the public, free of charge. Of course, they include the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré Cœur, and many more. Even places like the Élysée Palace, which is commonly closed to the public, will open their gates to the city. It's all about embracing the heritage of the French capital and understanding the impact and the importance of France as a whole.
Car Free Day (September 18)
It's no secret that Paris is among the most polluted cities in the world. For all its beauty and luxury, the air here isn't exactly the cleanest in the world. And a huge part of that is the big number of cars that give off carbon monoxide and more. It's not necessarily the city's fault since Paris is an important powerhouse of a metropolis. But to help counter all that pollution, the city will host a Car-Free Day on September 18, 2022. On this day, you won't see a single automobile on the street. You can stroll or ride your bike throughout the many
neighborhoods of Paris and enjoy such sweet clean air!
From September 26 onwards, get ready for one of the city's busiest events of the year:
Paris Fashion Week! Practically the entire fashion industry will descend on the French capital to find out what the biggest fashion houses in the world have in store for spring 2023. But it's not only the fashion shows that the industry elite has come to the city for. There's also a slew of after-parties and elegant soirees to look forward to. Not to mention promotional events for the latest products luxury brands are planning to drop either this season or next!
September 2022 may signal the start of autumn in Paris but that doesn't mean things are dying down in this city. From concerts to festivals, the French capital will be just as busy next month as it was this past summer!
