Calendar of Paris Events

April 29
Sip wine and enjoy appetizers in the company of David Lebovitz, with music by Cat Jahnke, all for a good cause! Help support the SOS Helpline, the emotional support line in English by attending their "Apéro-Dinatoire" evening, at Verjus Restaurant (just outside Palais Royal, 47 rue Montpensier, 1st) from 6-9pm. The fee is €60/person, and I will be there as Master of Ceremonies for the evening. RSVP on their website. See you there!

Tonight is La Nuit Européenne des Musée, a free all-night museum festival with special events and expositions to lure even the most reluctant culture-phobes through the door. Stay tuned for the program on the official website...

Foodie Heaven in Paris 

Foodies won't want to miss the classes, demos, tours and great deals on special gourmet menus around France this week (October 10-18) as part of the annual Semaine du Goût.

Maybe it isn't a coincidence that the Salon du Chocolat also begins this week, October 14-18.

If you're all about the packaging, and I know some of you are, check out the "Limited Edition" show at the Designpack Gallery (24 rue Richelieu, 1st, free entry) through November 28.

Check the Secrets of Paris calendar for more events around town.

And, because I love to share the sites that I've become addicted to, have a peek at SoFacile, a French site with mini-videos on how to do everything from iron a shirt to determining the quality of a Champagne, to properly chopping an onion (good for clueless foodies like me). Also handy for getting some extra vocabulary words.
