The Parisian
 

Clear Skies.

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.

Anyone lying on their back in the Bois de Vincennes this week would be forgiven for thinking post-apocalyptic thoughts - not a plane in the sky, no vapour trails, just deep, endless blue. Marvellous. If you're stuck in Paris and need something to do while you wait for the next flight, look no further. If you're stuck elsewhere, unable to get to these rather splendid events, you have our sympathy. Then again, the events on this week's list may or may not happen - watch out for those "cancelled" notices...

Some great gigs this week - Midlake, Caribou, Chicros, Ellie Goulding, Field Music... DJ sets too, with club pressure coming from Kenny Dope, Popof, Optimo, Pilooski and plenty more. The galleries are looking good too, with work from Luc Andrie, Georg Baselitz, Duane Hanson, Djamel Kokene and Hank Willis Thomas amongst many, many others.

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
