Paris in autumn is a delight. At that time, not only the the summer heat and tourists are gone, but also, the city still offers a variety of events, concerts and activities both indoors and outdoors. You have to visit Paris at least once in your life. The romance that novels like “Rayuela” by Julio Cortazar show the attempt to fasten our hearts with one city, in one way or the other still remains.
If you go downtown, you can get lost in the beautiful streets, always with a story behind them, like so many people who once lived in Paris. And the stories of all the artists who have passed through Paris are so long that it would not be possible to mention them all. However, Paris has fallen into all the possible mistakes of globalization, free markets and “gentrification”. So, if you go to this city you will notice that beside the “cutting edge” it had, perhaps, during the vanguards of the early twentieth century, or the fifties of Godard and the Nouvelle Vague and the Revolution of May 68, have been a bit side. But let´s be honest, it has been over 100 years of that, so it is enough of dreaming.
Despite being a highly embodied space, dominated by tourism, there are options like the Paris Autumn Festival that may leave a good taste in the eyes and ears. This year´s festival will celebrate its fortieth edition, forty years effectively devoted to contemporary art, combining and presenting various artistic styles. The festival presents those, jobs that are current important references in the performing arts, experimental and high-level, thereby allowing artists to create individual, original and very interesting works. Each year, from September to December, the festival presents more than forty events that attract an audience that exceeds one hundred thousand spectators. A real a success.
Autumn in Paris also allows to have a completely different perspective of the city. The leaves change colors and with this change the hues of light everywhere. Being itself a city quite bright in the summer, the Paris sky brightness decreases slightly to give it a somewhat more somber at the same time romantic. The cool evenings and getting on the Seine are memorable. It is perhaps with the coming of autumn that have better references Parisian fashion and design.
