 Game-making workshop |
27 Rue Montreuil Paris 75011 France +33 (0)1 43 56 13 38 http://www.kapla.com/centre_ka... |
The Kapla centre is located at the tip of the Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, close to the Bastille. The district is extremely charming. The furniture makers and all other trades involving wood are housed in the Faubourg. More and more fashion designers have also recently decided to open shops in the district. The writer Patrick Sûskind, in "the Perfume" very accurately describes the atmosphere (and the smell!) of the street. The Kapla centre offers workshops for children. With small pieces of wood called Kapla, they can build monsters, houses or cars. Children, a lot more than their parents, know that game and love it. The centre also offers to babysit your kid during the course! They're really friendly. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A Circus for Today |
40-50 Avenue Gambetta Paris 93171 France http://www.lenvoleecirque.org/# |
Under the shelter of a brilliant red big top which can hold 500 spectators plays out a remarkable modern circus. It is musical and kinetic, created through a combination of game and dance, balance and imbalance, power, love, and duality. Acrobatics, balancing acts, and magic tricks are accompanied by saxophone, accordion, and trombone in this creative and entertaining venture. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Eclectic Venue |
77 Rue de Charonne Paris 75011 France http://www.theatrelafenetre.com |
Concerts, musicals, plays, and shows for children all enjoy a place at La Fenêtre, a venue which might include complementary crêpes and cider with a selection of recitals (usually the last Sunday of the month) or sell tickets to a comedy show on a sliding scale (the patron chooses whether to pay half price, full price, or to support the project and venue by paying extra). Conveniently located just a short walk from the Place de la Bastille, the space accommodates about 80 and a bar welcomes the audience on the way to their seats. Rental of the venue is possible.

 Walkathon |
91 Rue Saint-Fargeau Paris 75020 France +33 1 4031 5606 http://www.martivisites.free.fr/ |
This trip helps you to enjoy Paris on foot. The various landmarks and museums are covered by efficient translators. A detailed commentary by the guides, peppered with interesting anecdotes, makes this walkathon worth a try. Some of the Parisian destinations are to be planned in advance, especially if you are in a group. However, on the spot visitors are also welcome without prior registration. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of the newly born in Paris |
Rue des Couronnes rue Piat Paris 75020 France |
Recently designed (1988), this park is a favourite amongst the locals. In spring, the flowering shrubs are an olfactory miracle. Its terraced layout offers an exceptional view of the city (including the Eiffel Tower) whilst out for a jog. In summer, children take over the modern fountains and improvise all sorts of games. Sports lovers enjoy working out a sweat on the basketball and football pitches whilst the lawns invite you to relaxation. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
