March is just around the corner, and with it the arrival of spring. While fine weather and sunny days are once again on the horizon, and with them the desire to enjoy the great outdoors, we mustn't forget about live entertainment.
With the launch of new shows behind us, and the extension of the season underway, March is a month with a wealth of shows onoffer in Paris, including theater, dance,comedy, musicals, lamagie and even concerts. What's more, after a February with 28 (or 29) days, March has 31 days, and therefore even more performance opportunities.
Before the big summer festivals - musical, but not only - March is the month of spring festivals. Paroles Citoyennes is one of them . March also sees the celebration of Women's Rights Day (March 8), Improv Day (March 4), the Spring Poetry Festival (March 11-27), St. Patrick's Day (March 17) and International Theatre Day (March 27). Plenty of opportunities to see shows.
