The Parisian
 

Festival Week.

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.

Our fair city is heavy on the festivals this week: Solidays has the big names on stage, La Defense continues the jazz with Raul Midon and General Elektriks amongst others, and the Music For Toys crew bring us their quirky three day free toyfest. If you don't happen to find yourself in the crowd at one of these as the sun goes down, there's plenty going on in the clubs, too: Paris Social Club has a couple of bangers on the fire this week, and 2020 Vision take up residency for one night only at Djoon.

In the galleries this week there's work from Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, Philippe Ramette, Eric Baudart, Laurent Grasso and Kamal Boullata, so even if the rain call off play there's no excuse not to stimulate your cultural lobe.

See you next week!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, a2b.
