How to enjoy Paris like a local

Dance, theater, circus, magic, yoga, art workshops, cinema, you name it, there's something happening every day at the soaring contemporary arts space Le Centquatre, near Parc de la Villette, open to visitors of every age.

An on-site restaurant, café and vintage boutique make it easy to spend the day, or evening, when neighbors, resident artists, kids, anyone, can dance. Check the schedule to see what's playing -- it might be a DJ or any genre of live music, from chanson to electro.
