Fête De La Musique

Welcome to The Parisian, your source for what's on this week, and this weekend, in Paris. Looking for clubs, gigs, art shows, exhibitions, film, dance and theatre in Paris? We sort through hundreds of events every week and bring you the cream of the crop.

Two things to celebrate this week: we're 30 issues old, and it's time for the Fête De La Musique. The skeptics among you will assert that there is no better time for a music lover to stay indoors. However, some of the more reputable musical institutions are pulling out the musical stops this week, particularly Batofar whose Fête De La Musique special is looking very tasty indeed.

In other news, we've got visual art from Joel Shapiro, Arnaud Pyvka, Nick Laessing and Nobuyoshi Araki, plus the electronic-blues phenomenon Son Of Dave in the sunshine (hopefully) at La Défense.

Enjoy!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
