Not yet, not yet...

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.

There are some pretty special visual arts events in town this week: Wilfrid Almendra's exhibition Case Study Houses opens at Bugada & Cargnel, Bill Owens presents a journey through recent American history at Galerie de Multiples and Galerie Patricia Dorffman hosts new work by Henrik Plenge Jakobsen.

Warp continue their birthday celebrations with what is sure to be a huge show (Battles, Four Tet, Flying Lotus... massive), and our fair city also plays host to Tortoise, Wavves, Evan Parker and some very hot Balkan action... And in dance, Jérôme Bel's new piece for solo performer Cédric Andrieux is at the Théâtre de la Ville.

So, plenty to keep you distracted from Christmas shopping for at least this week.

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
