Paris is a city that offers something special no matter the time of year, but November brings a unique charm. As autumn settles in and the air turns crisp, you can enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere, fewer crowds, and a variety of events that showcase the city’s culture. From art festivals to culinary delights, November is a great time to explore Paris, so here’s what you can look forward to: 1. Dive into Surrealism at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature Here’s a museum that brings nature and art together in the most unexpected ways. Just a quick walk from Generator Paris, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature (Museum of Hunting and Nature) is a quirky mix of taxidermy, modern art, and interactive exhibits. Wander through rooms where wild boars and bears seem to gaze back at you, and be prepared to question everything you know about art, nature, and… reality? 2. Snack Your Way Through the Pastry Playground of Pigalle Pigalle isn’t just for nightlife; it’s a haven for adventurous bakers pushing pastry boundaries. Wander through the neighborhood and look for bakeries offering everything from matcha croissants to black sesame éclairs. It’s November, so the streets are quieter, meaning you can sample your way through this dessert wonderland without the crowds. Warning: some flavors may be an acquired taste – but where’s the fun without a little risk? 3. Hunt Down Paris’ Secret Speakeasies Paris loves a good hidden bar, and there’s no better time than November to track them down. Seek out spots like Lavomatic, a bar hidden behind a laundromat, or find the elusive entrance to a cocktail bar through what looks like an old phone booth. The best part? Half the fun is finding these sneaky gems. Once inside, you’ll find a low-key crowd, mood lighting, and some of the best cocktails in town. A post shared by DIV.

Embrace the Beaujolais Nouveau Street Fest On the third Thursday in November, Paris celebrates the arrival of the year’s Beaujolais Nouveau. The best way to experience it? Hit the streets with a glass in hand and toast alongside locals in Montmartre or near Bastille. Pop-up bars, street musicians, and food stalls create a lively, party vibe. This isn’t a wine tasting – it’s a citywide celebration with everyone joining in the cheers. A post shared by DIV. Herenkabinet (@div.herenkabinet) on Feb 5, 2017 at 3:04am PST 5.
