The Parisian
 

Music And Sunshine.

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.

Once again we're heavy on the live music side this week - not least because Monday sees the start of the Villette Sonique festival, which kicks off with appearances from Roy Harper and Joanna Newsom. Your sonic week is further bolstered by gigs from Micah P. Hinson, Metric, The Clean, White Rabbits and Cold Cave, as well as two very underground but very worthwhile events hosted by the French Toast collective (Friday) and Les Combustibles (Sunday).

Gallery-wise, Gotthard Graubner and Pierre Buraglio have exhibitions in town this week, and the legendary Flamenco dancer and choreographer Israel Galván is at the Théâtre de la Ville.

Enjoy the sunshine!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
