You can also browse the Paris websites, look for musette, guinguette (singing along retro songs often with accordion), festival accordéon, bal musette, ...

By the way, there is a 3 days music fair in Paris very soon (5 to 7 february 2016) called Musicora in the Villette in Paris:

Its huge, for professional and amateur musicians, but the accordion will only be a very small part of this 3 days event. There is some accordion activity but not much.
 
Thanks all.

I saw Francois Parisi play in Cafe Barricade in Belleville, and also an Edith Piaf night with an accordionist and a singer in a restaurant in the same suburb.

Fantastic!
