What's going on in Paris?
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I intend to take a short break in Paris in February. How do I find out what is on in the way of concerts, dance etc? Is there a "What's On in Paris" magazine? Can I book tickets from England?

The Travel Editor replies: The French Tourist Board (tel: 0891 244123; calls cost 50p per minute) provides free up-to-date listings for events of all sorts in Paris.
A good guide to what's on in Paris is Pariscope (FFr3), available from shops and news-stands in Paris itself.
You may be able to obtain a copy in the UK, or have one sent to you from France. Contact Pariscope (tel: 00 33 1 41 34 73 74), or visit the website at http://www.pariscope.fr.
Pariscope is written in French, but if you cannot speak French the Time Out Paris section inside Pariscope is useful. It is not as extensive but has some good listings and is also available free from tourist offices around Paris.
To check what's on before you arrive, London's Time Out magazine has some listings for Paris in the Travel section and more details can be found on the website http://www.timeout.co.uk.
Also, globaltickets (tel: 0171-734 4555) sells tickets for arts events worldwide.
