Upcoming Event: The Paris New York Heritage Festival (PNYH) – 16th & 17th September 2023

It’s been seven years since the Paris New York Heritage Festival (PNYH) first burst onto the summer circuit, spanning three continents and seven cities before the Covid 19 pandemic stopped it in its tracks.

Unbowed, PNYH has grown new shoots, re-emerging as a sustainable, family-friendly fixture in the French capital, with a reputation for showcasing a new generation of artists and under-represented talent. Located on banks of the River Seine, the PHNY takes place this year on the 16 & 17 of September at the Parc André-Citroën in the 15th arrondissement.

On-site there will be a ‘conversation’ between culture and sport with demonstrations of the newest Olympic events including skateboarding and breakdancing. The festival will also feature discussions, dance battles, bars and delicious world food. There will also be the opportunity to go up in the park’s famous hot-air balloon, boasting probably the city’s best vantage point and an unrivalled view of the Eiffel Tower.

Boosting the family friendly vibe of the festival, PNYH is partnering with Message Paris, a diverse community of English Speaking parents, to host a Rentrée picnic for members and their families. Message fosters ways for parents across Paris to connect, and is excited to share the community spirit of the PYNH festival. The Rentrée Picnic will take place Sunday afternoon (12:30 pm) within the festival grounds.

Rugby World Cup Coverage

We are extending the BBC hours to offer live commentary of several rubgy world cup games taking place all around France this month.

Tune in to WRP at the time of the games for all the excitement, and join us in the many bars of the city offering live TV coverage.

Games are shown on either TF1, France 2 and M6. The opening game between France and New Zealand attracted over 15 million viewers in France alone, proving the growing popularity of Rugby in France.

Remember that the games located in Paris are at Stade de France, accessible by RER B, but also RER D, Metro 12 and 13 (10 min walk each). RER B is usually not the best choice before a game, it gets super crowded but it is now air conditioned.

The fan zone is located at Concorde Square on metro line 1, 8 and 12. It can accommodate 10,000 people with giant screens. It’s a good free alternative to the stadiums.

Have a wonderful world cup, and stay tuned to WRP.
