January is not the best month to be in Paris. The air is cold and humid although it is not even snowing. More than ever, Parisians are in a bad mood and most of them stay home grumbling. Sorry, but you did not choose the best time, and you might start hating this cold, expensive and unfriendly city.

However, if you happen to survive influenza and gastroenteritis, we might have something for you to lighten a little bit your stay in the French capital. We selected eight events and places where you will find a warmer, friendlier… and cheaper Paris. Concerts, exhibitions, theatre, places to visit or places for your kids, you will discover on that website a few things which are usually omitted by regular tourist guides.

We know how unfriendly Parisians could be… but we like them anyways. This site is also dedicated to them… This month, read Daniel’s story, a musician who knows how to describe the places he likes in Eastern Paris. He might have some tips for you.
