Your city guide to life in paris
Every year Le Forum des Images holds a film festival for small kids (called Le Tout Petits Cinema in French) in the center of Paris (metro Les Halles).
Filled with animated screening and interactive workshops for kids 18 months and up.
It’s mostly in French, but some of the projected films are from all over world: Japan, Germany and The UK.
And for the really small kids many of the films are just accompanied with music instead of dialogue: a cine-concert.

One of Paris’ oldest and most beautiful theaters has gotten a new face lift with a whole new attitude. The Gaite Lyrique is now a modern museum with all the finishing touches from the gay old Paris architecture. Opened back in September 1862 the theatre was shut down for renovations from 2004 to 2010 by the City of Paris.
5 of the 7 floors are now open to the public with exhibitions, public work spaces, libraries, play places and even a game arcade/video games floor for the kids and a cafe on the 3rd floor.
The unconventional museum welcomes all, as many sections are accessible free of charge. And they regularly hold work shops, film projections and conferences for the public such as their upcoming “GAME OLDER” a initiation for adults to the world of Video games!
( starts March 6 2012)

We stopped into Num the other night, only because our regular restaurant around the corner was closed. I’ve passed by this Thai restaurant many times as it’s located not far from Agnes B. store and upstairs from the UGC Cinema at Les Halles, but was never tempted to go inside because it seems a bit “touristy”. Located in a diverse yet very central shopping and restaurant area close to l’Eglise St. Eustache, it just seemed too busy there.
But that night, we were pleasantly surprised.
As we pushed back the large entrance doors we were welcomed to this thai restaurant with funky house music playing in the background, lovers giggling over champagne and friends chatting over appetizers.

We took some photos of the recent Christmas window displays at Galaries Lafayette and Printemps Store here in Paris. A great event for the kids to see all the dancing dolls and lights and a perfect area to shop as well.
