New Movements

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, it looks like things are becoming mobile again, both here in the capital, where the transport strikes finally seem to have ended and cross channel as the fishermen step down. Thankfully this week's cultural imports are unimpeded: Bonnie Prince Billie, The Skaters and Clare & The Reasons are in town, plus natives Debruit, Tiga and David Fenech. On the visual arts side, there's new work from David Federman, Roman Ondak and Christian Lhopital, amongst others.

See you next week!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
