• Lots of papers have been saying that Parisian nightlife is dead. Here are some nightlife news from “Secrets of Paris”.
• Next week-end will be election time. Make sure you’re available or make your “procuration”!
• The student artistic show has begun. “Ici et demain” festival is a lot of shows, concerts and exhibitions for free, so make sure to check out the program!
