What’s On in Paris

On October 4, from 7 p.m. to the early hours of the morning, explore Paris' annual nocturnal art scene. Nuit Blanche is the opportunity to view museums, private and public art galleries, and other cultural institutions that will be open and free of charge...all night long! More information can be found here.

Our Restaurant of the Month

Our choice for the restaurant of the month doesn't lie in Paris. Located just outside the city limits in the town of Saint-Ouen, its fine food and friendly service make La Puce worth the extra effort it takes to get there.

Angel of the Month

The Opera Angel

Author of Angels of Paris - An Architectural Tour through the History of Paris

A quartet of monumental stone sculptures, allegories for the performing arts, hold forth on the facade of the Opera Garnier. Instrumental Music, on the far left, is a staid grouping of figures, save for a pensive angel, seated cross-legged with unfurled wings, awaiting the crowds. Undeterred by his metallic bird-guard crown, pigeons huddle about him.
