Stroll through the Parc Floral de Vincennes’s tulip gardens this spring and you’ll be hit with the heady scent of Nelson’s blood. Rhum Fest 2020 – Europe’s biggest celebration of all things rum – returns to Paris’s second ’green lung’ from April 25 to 26. In Pigalle’s the Dirty Dick, rum drinkers already have it pretty good here, but this festival offers next-level access to the world’s finest bottles. So far, we know 60 countries will be represented, and the programme will include tastings, rum-making demonstrations and mixology masterclasses. Last year the salon welcomed 190 brands, selling 800 different rums. Tickets (€49-€79) will get you dégustations at every stand.
