Mariage Freres
It's tea time

Four hundred and fifty teas from 32 countries is a very good reason for taking the time to visit one of the Mariage Freres stores in Paris.
These teashops and salons feel straight out of another country, but not in a hoity-toity way. It has a cute, low-key café, and its Birthday Tea blend-which comes in a pretty canister-makes a great gift.

Mika
New kid on the charts

Having given sold-out concerts at the Olympia and the Zénith lasy year, Mika, the new prince of pop, is going one step further with a concert at the Parc des Princes, one of the biggest venue in Paris...
Lebanese-born Mica Penniman (born 18 August 1983) drew inspiration from British culture, to which he has been exposed since the age of nine, to come up with a bright, bouncy debut album called “Life in cartoon motion”, which has since become essential listening.
He will be performing some of his top hits including “Grace Kelly”, "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)", "Love Today" and “Relax (Take it easy)”, the song that’s on everyone’s lips. Light effects and Mika’s peppy 1980s-90s sound should make this a feel-good evening.
