So Thursday off to Paris for a long weekend. Going for the marvellous galleries.
Anyone know any shows for the evening, where the best place to stay is?
Merci beaucoup.

I would stay in the St Germain area, close to the Jardin du Luxembourg - plenty of restaurants around, easy metro access and walking distance to a lot of the main sites.
Can't help with the shows I'm afraid as I've never seen one there!

I'm here now - sadly, not much is happening in theatre in January (well, there's Chicago...).
The exhibitions are great though, I especially recommend Lequeu and Khnopff at Petit Palais (which is my favourite place in Paris anyway).
If you need any restaurant hints - let me know! 😊

Im going next month and will be taking my other half to see 'Jean Paul Gautier's Fashion Freal Show' which looks to be a mix of circus, cabaret and fashion show if that takes your fancy? rockinrobin if you have any recommendations for somewhere a carnivorous celiac and their vegan partner could dine, we'll i'd probably buy you dinner myself! |

I stayed in a hotel called District Republique. Great, affordable place to stay!

The best place to stay is the 2000 dollar a night George V. I have stayed there. Its possibly the best in the chain and best hotel in Europe. The best in St Germain is Esprit St Germain. Rosewood is also good. |

As for "Chicago" - apparently some songs are in English but generally it's in French with surtitles. You can find more information here: www.chicagolemusical.com/en/("le musical"!) JPG Fashion Freak Show is also very enjoyable although completely bonkers. I've seen it twice. |

Oh... If you're a carnivore, that's easy. The French love meat. I'd suggest you visit Les Trublions and Le Buisson Ardent, both on Rive Gauche - very nice and not too expensive bistros with a modern twist. And Racines Des Pres - a bit more pricey but the food is fab and they do have some meat-free options on the menu. And the (in)famous Au Pied De Cochon if you love pork in all shapes and sizes! As for vegan though... Erm... Let me just say vegan is generally not en vogue in France... I will do some research though! |
