The annual Circus Festival provides an unequalled opportunity to see top international circus performers from famous schools together under one roof, including acts from the Beijing Circus, the Moscow Circus, the Knie Circus and local talent Ecole Fratellini. The aim is to bring together young acrobats, animal trainers and clowns and to reveal new and exciting trends in circus acts from traditional, modern and experimental circus performances.
Like its celebrated rival Les Deux Magots, Café de Flore can claim to have been the heart of the Existentialist Movement during the early part of this century with Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Camus and others regularly meeting here
Comparisons Musée Grévin with Madame Tussaud’s are almost irresistible. Musee Grevin is number one. It presents French history in a series of tableaux. Visitors will also find displays of contemporary sports and political figures, as well as 50 of the world’s best-loved film stars.
Two shows are staged frequently throughout the day. The first, called the “Palais des Mirages,” starts off as a sort of Temple of Brahma and, through magically distorting mirrors, changes first into an enchanted forest and then into a fête at the Alhambra in Granada. A magician is the star of the second show, “Le Cabinet Fantastique”; he entertains children of all ages.
This park, established in the mid-19th century, boasts a manmade lake, complete with its own island.
A Romanesque temple sits within the park, offering great views of the surrounding area. A suspension bridge and a grotto also add charm to the lovely greenspace.
Aside from sightseeing, park activities include picnics, ice skating, scenic walks, donkey rides, and puppet shows.
Exhibits continue at the Hotel le Pelletier de St-Fargeau, across the courtyard. On display is furniture from the Louis XIV period to the early 20th century, including a replica of Marcel Proust’s cork-lined bedroom with his actual furniture, including his brass bed.
This little restaurant, just down the street from the École Polytechnique serves Ethiopian cuisine in a Franco-Ethiopian environment. The service is tremendous, the tables are cozy, if slightly cramped, and the food is wonderful. You can’t go wrong on this menu, and you get to eat with your hands. What’s not to like? Bring someone with you when you go, otherwise you’ll find yourself with a massive amount of leftovers. A meal here will cost about 15-20 € per person.
Paradis d´Amour - the new show
The dazzling sight of beauty rhythm an gaiety
Talented artists, an original choreography, a symphony of colours and a loyalty to a great tradition : the Revue of the Paradis Latin is like a champagne cocktail of beauty and joyful living, both exciting and romantic, with its striking ballets and surprising attractions. The dynamism and humour of the hosts, the elegance of the surroundings, the pleasant and attentive waiters of the famous Brigade de Salle of the Paradis Latin only add to the quality of the show to guarantee you an unforgettable moment of a very Parisian ´Vie en Rose´.
The Paradis Latin considers itself the most Parisian of the great cabarets. This calling can be seen in the decoration of the theatre built by Gustave Eiffel, in the incredible world famous French CanCan and in most of the ballets. The famous shows of the Paradis Latin, such as Paris Paradis, Nuit de Paradis, Paradisiac, Champagne, Hello Paradis, Viva Paradis have all remained loyal and reflect the Parisian spirit. Still, today we tastefully present scenes that are both modern and exciting without undermining this view of Paris. Having premiered to rave reviews, Paradis d´Amour, with its extremely cosmopolitan dance troupe, shimmering costumes, created by designer Ingrid Israël, and under the direction of Christian Dura and choreography by Molly Molloy, is a veritable hymn to Love and will enthral audiences from around the world.
