The Parisian
 

Eagles, wire-walkers and puppets on a bus..

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! It's Monday, it's lunch time (if you're somewhere near us), and it's time to round up the coming week's finer points, Parisian style. So, stop sticking needles into that Sarkozy doll (didn't you read the sticker?), grab a baguette and let's get started.

It's a great week for photography fans, alt-folk fans and fans of multi-person simultaneaus tightrope acts (let's face it, that's all of us). Oh, and if you've been tearing your hair out trying to find a decent puppet show on a bus, you just hit the motherload (Le Périple, Saturday).

Enjoy!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, kudos.
