Paris is a city of the fine arts. From the masterpieces of The Louvre to the performances at the Opera de Paris and on the Metro platforms, visitors are submerged in French Art from the moment that their plane lands on the runways of Charles De Gaulle. Until September 7th the streets of Paris will liven with an array of performing arts thanks to the Tréteaux Nomades Festival, an annual celebration of theater, music and improvisation. As always, New York Habitat has dozens of apartments available before, during and after the public performances.
This theatre festival, organized for some ten years by the Compagnie du Mystère Bouffe, will be staging open-air performances throughout the capital with, as a natural backdrop, the Cour de l’Hôtel de Beauvais, the Arènes de Lutèce and the Arènes de Montmartre among others. After all, what could be a better stage than the City of Light itself? In the heart of the historical 18th arrondissement, guest companies revisit the repertoires of classic and contemporary writers and reveal theatre that is comical, colorful, touching and accessible to all audiences. Of course, all performances will be conducted in French, so Anglophones should have their French-English dictionaries handy. But, as theater goers already know, the beauty of the performance is often in the music and movement, not necessarily the words.
Theater lovers looking for a flat to set the stage for their French vacation should look no further than these New York Habitat accommodation gems in the 18th arrondissement:
-This 2-bedroom rental apartment in Luxembourg, St Germain (PA-973) features bold colors, with a particularly French vibe.
