ENTERTAINTMENT
Where entertainment is concerned, the city’s strong points are
movies and music. Paris is the cinema capital of Europe, showing more
than 500 films every day. Check out the programme at www.allocine.com
or buy the weekly guide Pariscope.
The music on offer in Paris
encompasses excellent jazz, top-quality classical and avant-garde
experimental, international rock. Just as you can find a lot of
African, Caribbean and Algerian music. Plus, of course, the traditional
French chansons.
To view the concert programme, buy Pariscope or book your tickets at the FNAC mega store

For opera-lovers, Paris is great, as the opera gets more than half
of the annual State budget for music. The modern Bastille Opera has
many enemies because of its architecture, but most people agree that
the acoustics are among the best in the world.
