Itching to do the time warp again? Then take a step to the left, another step to the right, and head over to Studio Galande in the fifth arrodissement. "Le Temple du Rocky Horror Picture Show" screens the cult classic every Friday and Saturday at 10:10pm; tickets cost 7,80. True to form, the screenings are accompanied by live performances ...

Ever since Gwen Stefani introduced fans to the Harajuku girls, pop culture enthusiasts have been embracing the goth-slash-lolita look that originated in the Tokyo neighborhood of that name. If you're bored with French fashion or in the mood to play dress-up, head straight to Harajuku in the fifth arrondissement. The outrageous clothes come straight from Japan, and with labels such as Sex ...

This luxe department store goes above and beyond to give customers the royal treatment from the moment they walk in. Translators, guest lounges - Japanese tourists get their own - a deluxe grocery and even private weekly fashion shows make clear that this is no ordinary mall. But by far my most favorite luxury is the domed ceiling, a resplendant ...

As you walk down rue Théophile-Roussel on your way to Le Baron Bouge you may find yourself double checking the street signs to make sure you haven't accidently taken a wrong turn and ended up in Espagne. Fear not, the people spilling spanish-style into the street with wine glasses in hand are actually enjoying a very parisian bar with very french wine. Still, this sort of street party feeling does ...

It is my lifelong habit to go to tea salons to be arch and ladylike with my girl friends. And let me reassure you that there is no better place than Paris to do so with all those chic Salons de Thé with their overwhelmingly delicate patisserie dotting around the city. One of those I like to patronise is Ladurée- especially the Champs Elysées branch ...

The Place de la Contrescarpe is one of my favorite nooks in Paris for many reasons.

Secondly, it is in a fun student populated part of the city, lending itself to a youthful ambiance and a nice mixture of people having their after-work or after study session drinks. But, ...

As usual, every first sunday of each month, you get free entry to the main museums of Paris; The Louvre, Centre Pompidou, and Musee d'Orsay.

This month I took the opportunity to go to Musee d'Orsay after at least 6 months from the last time I went there. This place used to be a train station until it was turned into what it is today. The place ...

As if I didn't love this city enough already. This movie really hits the spot. A collaborattion of 18 directors telling us 18 stories of 18 arrondisements (districts) of Paris- there were plans to make 20 stories to match the 20 arrondisements of the city but 2 plans failed to integrate into the whole picture.

As each district in Paris has its own character, ...

When I moved into my old apartment in the 1st arrondisement of Paris (Louvre, Chatelet, Palais Royal) late December 2006, I became neighbours to a divine vintage boutique on rue de la Grande Truanderie. The owner is this cute little lady named Dominique Cesselin and the boutique is called Iglaine.

With an extensive list of garments and accessories there I made that place my ultimate destination for ...

Paris is a city full of "musicians". Usually if you take the metro, you have thick chance of meeting them, mostly they come with accordians,or mouth organs. Sometimes, they play violins and guitars with vocals and without. It is also not unusual to see someone with a big speaker, or Asians with their traditional instruments. If you come to Paris with an image ...
