The PokerStars European Poker Tour released their 2023 schedule last December, which saw the announcement that the EPT will be visiting two new destinations for the first time.
The usual jaunts to Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Prague fall in their traditional timeslots while the inaugural EPT Cyprus takes place in October.
However, just around the corner is EPT Paris, which runs from February 15-26. The spadie brand hosts its maiden EPT inside the French capital city and PokerStars is pulling out all the stops to make it one to remember for the players.
Player Experiences at EPT Paris
Throughout EPT Paris, there’s a plethora of player experiences to take advantage of. See all the sites of the City of Love with the daily city sightseeing bus tours, or if you’d prefer, you can get a 360-degree view of Paris thanks to the daily hot air balloon experiences.
If you’ve ever wanted to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower, that’s something you can do while EPT Paris is running as you can get tickets to the Eiffel Tower tour.
Foodies and culture vultures will also be pleased to know that on February 20 and 22, there will be French cheese and wine pairing afternoons which kick off at 1 p.m. local time.
For early risers, become a master of disguise with the Arsene Lupin Escape room. For those who think they can emulate the gentleman burglar then make sure to book your place on either February 17-18 and 24 at 10 a.m. local time.
And remember, this calendar of activities is compliments of PokerStars.
I Love Paris Players Party
All players are also invited to the “I Love Paris” Players Party. The celebration is hosted at the famous Parisian venue “Fouquets” on February 20 and runs from 8 p.m. till late.
At the party, there will be a live music band with Moulin Rouge dancers as well as a DJ set.
Shuttle transport from Barriere Casino to the party is also being organized.

For those who have played at previous EPT stops, then you’re probably familiar with the PokerStars Wheel Spinner where epic prizes will be dished out to players.
Well, soccer fans will be delighted to find out that ten pairs of tickets for the Paris Saint Germain vs Lille match are just some of the goodies that can be claimed.
The big game kicks off on February 19 and while the game is on, there will be some extra special prizes up for grabs. PSG forward and PokerStars cultural ambassador Neymar has signed a few items and there will be PokerStars sports branded gifts as just some of the items that can be won.
