Parcours Saint-Germain arts event, 23rd May – 2nd June 2019

For ten days, around thirty galleries and smart retail establishments in the area around our hotels are getting together for a new edition of the Parcours Saint-Germain arts event.

Get ready for a number of exhibitions around this year’s theme – flowers – as well as a big opening night event (technically invite only, but with the possibility to gatecrash) with performances and special events.

While the dozens of exhibitions being held as part of the Parcours Saint-Germain look interesting, we can’t help but salivate over the numerous happenings on offer for the opening party on 23rd May.

The website says that you have to have an invite to attend them, but some are in public spaces, and we think you’ll be able to weasel your way into the others if you look smart and confident enough ?

The line-up for 23rd May includes:

— a guitar concert by Aurélien Robert & Clément Reboul (as part of the Jazz à Saint-Germain-des-Prés festival) from 5.45pm-7.45pm, and a ‘live-painting’ by Japanese artist Ellie Omiya starting 6.30pm, both on place Saint-Germain (here)

disCOvered, a musical performance and installation by Gaspard Yurkievich and Dani Siciliano (who will be singing songs from her upcoming album ‘Discovered’), with Gael Rakotondrabe on piano, and special lighting by Pierre Biton (here) from 7-8pm, and at 9pm

— a bolero class at the EDF Fondation (here) from 6-8pm

— a Kashmir yoga class from 5pm-6.15pm (with others being held on Friday and Saturday – just sign yourself up) at La Louisiane (here)…
