All Styles, All Smiles

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.

So we’ve survived another week of animal related illness and we’re
fast approaching summer, which should be enough to put a smile on your face. If that's not enough then maybe the likes of Beirut, The Soul Jazz Orchestra, Mr Bongo, Papier Tigre, John Parish and PJ Harvey playing in our fair city this week will help, as well as visual splendour from François Daireaux, Monique Renault and Andrew Mania amongst many others. Have a great week!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
