Paris has an abundance of theaters and shows, and therefore new works to see all year round, even on public holidays. If you don't have the time to do this, take advantage of the three-day Assumption weekend after August 15 to discover what's on this month in the capital!

While some great plays are on the bill in various theaters for a long time, some new releases are only available for a short time. Whether you prefer classical theater, contemporary theater, literary adaptations, comedies or more, Paris has something for everyone!

Many rooms offer afternoon sessions, known as "matinales", on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. So you're spoilt for choice between Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings and days! You'll also find a wide range of prices, depending on your choice of venue. A great way to have fun with family, friends or lovers over a long weekend in Paris.
