I and two girlfriends will be in Paris from Saturday until the following weekend Saturday or Sunday. Does anyone know of any special events going on or things to do? We really have no itinerary, and are just planning to walk a lot, but would like suggestions!
Also, any other students travelling in the area next week?

Hi lai, I do not know about students but it seem about half of the Fodorites will be in Paris this coming week. It is amazing.

I am sure you know it is cold, so pack accordingly.

Have a wonderful time.

This website might be useful:

You should also buy a copy of Pariscope, a weekly guide to what's happening, from a newspaper seller when you arrive. It's in French but you should be able to figure out things of interest to you even if you don't read the language. It comes out mid-week so you'll need to buy two to cover your stay.

Two good sites for checking on events before you leave are:
