Churches

They're open and busy, with services and, in many cases, special organ recitals and concerts.

Shopping

Many shops are closed, especially those not in the most touristy areas. But flea markets spring to life, as does the Bird Market (Marché aux Oiseaux).

Museums

Most are open and busy, and on the first Sunday of the month, some offer free admission.

Château de Versailles

The Grandes Eaux (wonderful fountain displays) happen on Sundays in summer, and there's free admission on the first Sunday of each month. More...

Transport

Métro, RER suburban trains, and city buses run less frequently, but still give good service.

Sports

Special roller-blading tours are held in good weather. With less traffic on some streets, it's a good day to take that Velib' (bicycle) ride through the city.
