Vernissage!.

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.

Well, we're all back in the city once more and what has, in terms of exhibitions, been a barren landscape for the last month or so is about to transform into a visual arts paradise. There are literally dozens of exhibitions opening this week - we've listed the cream of the crop here.

Elsewhere it's jazz o'clock at La Villette as the annual celebration of all things jazz, afrobeat and avant-garde hits town, and there's plenty, as always, going on in clubland.

See you out there.

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
