The Parisian
 

Like a Phoenix....

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.

Hello and welcome to the new incarnation of The Parisian! We've worked hard over the last few months to change what was a pretty good online magazine into what we hope will be your trusted cultural resource. We'll be sending this mailout every Monday morning, so that you can sit down with a coffee and plan your week of gigs, clubs, art exhibitions, theatre and any other cultural treasure we dig up.

It's not just this email that's changed - our website has had an overhaul too. Check www.theparisian.org for the online edition of this mailout, with full stories and more lovely pictures.

Anyway, without further ado, here's what we consider to be the cream of this week's crop... see you out there!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
