Calendar of Paris Events

June 2-3
This weekend is the Portes Ouvertes at Les Frigos! Check out the artist studios in one of the most famous former squats in Paris. In the 13th (near the Bibliothèque Mitterrand, just off Rue de Tolbiac), ree entry, Saturday (2-10pm) and Sunday (2-8pm).

June 8-10
Nearly 6,000 feathered and sequinned costumes, designed and made in the workshops of the Folies Bergère, one of the world’s most prestigious music-halls, are going on auction at the Palais de la Bourse (Place de la Bourse, 2nd) over three sessions (two catalogued sales on Saturday 9th at 6pm and Sunday 10th at 4pm, one non-catalogued sale of costumes, accessories, notions and supplies). To this magnificent set of lots will be added a hundred posters and programmes recounting a century of revues, original musical scores composed for Folies Bergère revues and drawings by famous fashion illustrator Erté. Public exhibition of the collection from 2-6pm on Friday, 10am-5pm on Saturday, 10am-3pm on Sunday.

June 17
It's time yet again to don your most fashionable hat and a picnic basket and head up to Chantilly for the annual Prix de Diane at the Chantilly Hippodrome. It's Ladies' Day at the races, and the fashions might overshadown the horses, but overall it's a fabulous day out for free (well, if you can get out there by train or car or helicopter). Check out one of my posts from the 2010 event with photos.

Parisian Nightlife Websites

DateTuesday, February 12, 2008

If you're looking for the absolute latest nightlife news (and can understand a bit of French), these are just a few of the websites that have information on Paris soirées:

Soon Night
Despite the silly name, this site has information on all of the city's big discotheque-style dance clubs, along with discounts or free entry flyers, and photos posted online after each soirée within two days.

Vodka Coca
Otto and Nico SDZ maintain this refreshingly minimalist site highlighting just a handful of exclusive Paris nightlife events, including soirées and live music performances. Note that one of the partners of Vodka Coca is the Paris Moustache Club.

InfosBar.com
Even though this is more of a bar industry news website, there's lots of great info for us mortals, such as new bar openings, special events, and even soirées.
