The Parisian
 

Winter Warm Up.

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 a couple more issues yet this year so we won't start ringing the seasonal bells quite yet, but there are a few events this week which tick all the boxes for a festive warmup: Melting Soul at Djoon, Get Underground at Rex, Cool & Deadly at Glaz'art and another Excuse My French party are all guaranteed to kick the party season off.

Clubbing aside, there's plenty of stuff to do and see this week: Glossopoeia at the Centre Pompidou is an unmissable treat, as is Vik Munik at the Galerie Xippas and acrobat James Thierrée at the Théâtre de la Ville.

See you next week for the Christmas issue!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
