Here Comes The Sun

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.

This week we're digging the frisbee out, putting a picnic together and heading out for the Jazz Festival in the Parc Floral, as we gear up for a summer packed with the finest music, arts, photography, dance, theatre and film you could hope for. There's plenty to get excited about after the sun goes in, too: A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Moderat (that's Apparat and Modeselektor), Alela Diane and Yo La Tengo are in town, and Derrick Carter at Djoon should be a great night out.

If you need to get out of the heat and into an air-conditioned gallery for a few hours, there's a wealth of choice: try Ike Morgan's show at the Galerie Impaire, or the 12 Figures show at FAT.

Don't forget the sun screen!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
