Up Pariscope


We are back from our trip to the delights of Paris.

In my last post I reflected on some of the places you could visit in Paris on a freebie. These were mainly the bigger museums and splendid they were. The information on these places is relatively easy to find in the guide books.

But I'd like to reflect upon a magazine available in Paris for a mere 32p - it's called Pariscope. It is produced on a weekly basis and provides information on what's going on in museums, cinema, events, exhibitions etc. Thanks to this magazine we were aware of a number of events - such as an exhibition contrasting photographers' views of Paris and Moscow, another on contemporary Dutch art and finally the exhibition shown here - an outdoor exhibition of photos of toilets near the Bastille.

If you are ever in Paris I would highly recommend this magazine - or it's compatriot L'Officiel des Spectacles. And what a bargain it is!!!!
