Paris, a cultural capital par excellence, turns to sport this summer with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. But that's not stopping Parisians and tourists from enjoying new plays in August. Despite the hustle and bustle of the Olympics, the capital's theaters and concert halls remain open, offering performances not to be missed.
Whether you're more into musicals, classical or contemporary theater, comedy or tragedy, August offers plenty of opportunities to discover new plays. The Paris Olympics are also celebrated in August 2024 through performances specially created for the occasion, combining sport and art.
After a play, Paris offers a multitude of possibilities for extending the evening, whether in restaurants, bars or simply strolling through the city's most beautiful districts. The night-time atmosphere in Paris in August is particularly pleasant, especially during the 2024 Olympic Games!
