Let's indulge in Onigami's onigirazu!

Attention all lovers of delicious Japanese treats! Onigami, the new foodie hotspot on Rue d'Hauteville, invites you to discover onigirazu, those Japanese rice sandwiches that are both healthy and convenient. Hand-prepared every morning by Anaïs and Marine, they feature vinegared rice, a protein (meat or veggie), fresh herbs, crunchy pickles, all enhanced by a secret sauce and wrapped in nori seaweed, folded like origami to hold it all together. A healthy, varied, and colorful alternative that will change your breakfast breaks. Our favorites? The Oni Tamago with its marinated egg and runny yolk, and the Oni Shrimp, as fresh as ceviche!

Laughing with Coraline at the Maison des Métallos

Blending theater and clown performance, Blanche Ripoche transforms into Coraline, a strange, clumsy, and utterly charming character who tries her best to appear "normal." It's a touching play that perfectly mixes humor and naivety, and challenges our unconscious image of what normality is.

We're hunting for records galore at the Christmas Special Vinyle Village!

This Saturday, the Vinyle Village is back once again at the Rotonde Stalingrad, this time for a 100% Christmas edition. Under the impressive 16-meter glass roof, the day kicks off gently with a Christmas market open to everyone, absolutely free, starting at 4 PM. For 6 hours, you can rummage through a collection of thousands of vinyl records, and that's not all! There will also be stands from creators and artisans to help widen your gift search. Then, at 10 PM, we stop...

And just for fun: gone are the cute little stands, the Rotonde is turning into a real club, and this lasts until 6 AM! To keep the evening lively, you have 3 rooms to choose from, each offering a different musical vibe, from house to techno and everything in between!

Discover the works of Georges de la Tour at the Jacquemart-André Museum

He is one of the greatest French painters of the 17th century. Yet, his name may not ring a bell. The Jacquemart-André Museum pays a well-deserved tribute to Georges de la Tour, a true master of the canvas inspired by the Caravagism revolution. Through around thirty works, the museum showcases the characteristics of de la Tour's art, notably his use of chiaroscuro. From painting to painting, candles and lanterns guide us on a journey to discover a hushed universe, full of mysteries and surrounded by intimacy.

eacute; silent. Works filled with intense spirituality, creating truly modern pieces to discover until January 25 !

Georges de la Tour. Between Shadow and Light
Musée Jacquemart-André
158, Boulevard Haussmann – 8th
Until January 25, 2026
