The Parisian
 

New Skylines & Ideas.

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.

In a week which sees plenty of fresh ideas (particularly this fair city's new skyline), the cultural calendar is looking pretty fresh too. There's photography from Yael Bartana, Amar Kanwar, William Pope L and Christopher Taylor; films by Julian Rosefeldt, Jean-Luc Godard and Alain Declercq; and some particularly massive musical events too - The Ex, Mono, Lindstrom and Barzin are in town, as is the unmissable genius of David Byrne (though what's with the ticket price on that one? Steep!)

See you out there...

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
