What to do in Paris this weekend (June 5-7)
This weekend, Paris is alive with art, mixology, green escapades and new gourmet addresses. From Ophelia Jacarini’s poetic exhibition at H.D Galerie to the new Tempora menu at the InterContinental Paris Le Grand, not forgetting the ORA summer pop-up in Versailles, the Nuit Blanche 2026 and a few food spots to try out, here are our ideas for enjoying the capital in style.

Ophelia Jacarini: movement and body memory
Held at H.D Galerie in Paris, the “En Mouvement” exhibition marks Ophelia Jacarini’s return to France after eleven years of exile in Asia. The show brings together two series, Identity and Métaphysique du mouvement, around the same obsession: making visible what escapes the eye (but not that of the synesthete artist). Time, momentum, the body’s memory and even the disappearance of gesture become tangible matter under Ophelia’s talent. With this exhibition, Ophelia Jacarini proposes a poetic reading of movement. Her aim is not to represent the body, but to capture what it leaves behind. Attention, last day on June 5! Read more.
Allow yourself the freedom to choose with or without alcohol (always with elegance).
Tempora: the Bar menu at the InterContinental Paris Le Grand plays with the senses and the seasons
With Tempora, the Bar de l’InterContinental Paris Le Grand offers an elegant interpretation of contemporary mixology. Inspired by the cycle of the seasons and the idea of the ephemeral, this new menu plays on a simple yet contemporary principle: every alcoholic creation also exists in a non-alcoholic version. The mocktail is not conceived as a secondary option. It’s a creation in its own right, crafted with the same precision as a cocktail. In this way, the experience becomes more inclusive, without losing any of its sophistication. This approach gives the menu real coherence. It allows everyone to experience the same moment, with or without alcohol, around the same universe of taste. Read more.

ORA: the not-to-be-missed summer pop-up at the Waldorf Astoria Versailles – Trianon Palace
A beautiful open-air experience, ORA invites you to enjoy a sunny, relaxed moment. As night falls, the hotel’s gardens become the backdrop for elegant evenings, with live music on Fridays and Saturdays, pétanque, Mölkky and a host of social events. For this collaboration, the bar team has teamed up with ST-GERMAIN, the French elderflower liqueur. Two signature cocktails are on offer: a Spritz and a Mule, revisited in fresh, light and fragrant versions. A menu designed to accompany the golden evening light, in a contemporary French Riviera spirit. Read more.
