Last weekend of April, dear Bonbecs, before the big sunshine of May! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves: here are the best tips to celebrate and enrich ourselves over the next three days. 


Friday, April 25

We’re singing at the top of our lungs to the songs from the super romantic new movie Alterlove

To celebrate the release of Alterlove, the latest film by Jonathan Taïeb featuring Kim Higelin, Victor Poirier, and Jeremy Kapone, Charablabla is promising some very special karaoke nights. With the host in attendance (yes, the same one you can spot in one of the movie scenes), we’ll be belting out tunes and improvising some lovely nonsense to the music from Alterlove. Here’s the scoop: after the screening at the Grand Rex (the show starts at 6:45 PM), we’ll head to La Tute restaurant (just a 10-minute walk from the cinema) for a free 40-minute karaoke session. A little tip, make sure to keep your ticket safe in your pocket. The good news? If you can’t join us this Friday, no worries—the event will last nearly three weeks!

Let’s travel with the new summer program Hors Ligne from Ground Control and La Communale

Two places, one unique experience. The summer programming of Ground Control and La Communale Saint-Ouen is unveiled, inviting us to embark on a journey... without leaving Paris (or almost). From Brittany to Berlin, passing through various African countries, the two food courts promise us a festive, warm, and delicious program, featuring cultural encounters, travel stories, and a spotlight on diasporic identities. The cherry on top? For this occasion, Ground Control is reopening its terrace with 4 new restaurants on the menu: Wall.i Deli and its drool-worthy pastrami sandwiches, Chango with its delicious Argentine street food, Little Drop and its traditional Sunday roast chicken (and other drumsticks and tenders to nibble on), and Bouboule, the spot that reinvents classic world recipes into crispy, melt-in-your-mouth balls.

This week, we decided to glam up our Sunday movie outing a bit. So, we’re heading to the Royal Monceau and its Cinema Katara, which opens its doors to the public and offers us exclusive screenings. Sitting in plush XXL leather seats designed by Philippe Starck, we get to enjoy a great film with a glass of champagne and delicious pastries in hand. What's showing this Sunday?
