The Parisian
 

Life's A Beach.

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.

It's time to grab a couple of deck chairs, tie a hanky on your head and trot down to the beach! Not the actual beach, that would mean missing all these fantastic events. We're referring, of course, to Glazart's temporary beach, where you can kick back, grab a beer and listen to some of the finest music in town this week.

If you're allergic to sand (or have some similarly inconvenient affliction) you might prefer some future disco tackle at Djoon, electrofunk with Chromeo at Point Ephemere or Os Mutantes in the park... your choice!

See you next week...

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, love_and_disaster.
