Modern and youthful: the French touch exhibition
We’ve all heard about Daft Punk or Justice. “French Touch” is famous worldwide as one of the most popular electronic music wave! But do you know where all this music comes from? Walk on the steps of electro giants at Paris’ most recent music hall, la Philharmonie de Paris, in this unprecedented exhibition! A refreshing change from paintings =)
9th April to the 11th of August.
How do the French do it?
Careful! If May is that delightful weather and time of the year, it is also known as the month when French people have the most public holidays and do take breaks for extended weekends. As a consequence, prices for accommodation and tickets surge around the 1st, the 8th and the 30th of May… You’ve been warned 🙂
