The last couple of years have seen a number of cultural developments in Paris attractions, new sites giving the Paris cultural scene a significant lift. Much like Paris restaurants, The Maison de Metallos, a former trade union centre, has opened as a cutting-edge showcase for up and coming artists, 104 is a centre for contemporary art. Formerly it was a funeral parlour! The Théatre de la Gaietéhas been transformed into a centre for contemporary music and digital art. Many of these sites are located near our holiday flats in Paris. There will soon be good reason to venture from one of our apartment rentals in Paris to the northern suburb of St Dénis as work has begun on on the CitéEuropéenne du Cinéma. With the backing of Luc Besson, it will house nine studios and will inevitably lift the French film industry. Paris restaurants are already cropping up in the area in anticipation of its completion. Other new Paris attractions include Jean Nouvel'sthe much-vaunted Philarmonie near Cité de la Musique which will give Paris a new and major classical venue. As we are passionate about music at Pad-A-Terre, we provide details of all venues, big and small in our holiday apartments Paris. When you come to our Paris vacation apartments, you will above all note quite how accessible the arts are in Paris. Throughout the year, there are a whole host of festivals on offer and discounts are readily available. Often organised by the city council, what in other countries might be considered 'elitist' is brought within the reach of the general public. Paris is the city for lovers and for the romantic die-hards amongst you, you need no longer compromise on Paris restaurants and Paris attractions and can treat yourselves to something truly special. We always have interesting Valentine's hotel offers on our site. We intend to cover all aspects of culture in this directory, from museums to music of all genres, more discrete art fairs and galleries.
