November is still a relatively quiet month, before the frenzy of the Christmas and New Year period. Why not take the opportunity to put on a (beautiful) show?
It's a good time of year: the theatrical season is over, and new shows are well established. And, although Christmas is still a long way off, the shows that are playing for the period often start as early as November. As a result, they're already on the bill.
Theater, comedy, drama, comedy, circus and musicals: once again this November, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to shows in Paris, with hundreds to choose from.
Troupes, solo artists, musicians, circus performers, comedians, dancers, actors... They're all delighted to be back on stage after a few complicated years in the performing arts, and look forward to seeing you in the capital's concert halls.
To help you find your way around the plethora of shows on offer in Paris, here's a guide to the best ideas for going out.
