What's on - Paris

The new year is upon us and it is time to start planning. Number one on the list...trips! After the holiday season and after returning to our home bases, we all catch ourselves romanticising and holiday planning for the year ahead. We can say it is a cure in fighting the January blues... 

Now it is also the time to catch up with any museum exhibitions, art shows and theatre shows we might wish to see before they finish running. Most expos and shows finish in January/beginning February and make way for the new ones arriving in early spring, thus March and April. 

Find here my suggestions for art expos and theatre in Paris until February 2018 worth visiting before running out soon:
