As Spring arrives, Paris celebrates food (as usual) and a carnival in the Tuileries.
Activities
Colette Carnaval
I am perhaps the only person in Paris who doesn't understand the attraction of the Colette 'concept' shop (hey, a vegetarian couscous at €22 with a bottle of raindrops from Tasmania at €13!), but it's success cannot be denied. To celebrate its 15th birthday it is organising
Until March 10th and 11th

A Voir et A Manger
With the rise of cooking as some kind of leisure activity, competition and spectator sport (as well as the term 'culinary arts'), it is no surprise that all food related events are now incredibly complicated. A Voir and A Manger at the 104 (yes, we've now forgotten that this building previously housed the municipal undertakers, but it's true that it also wasn't too far from the La Villette meat market) is actually a whole host of events, including a festival of cookery books (this weekend), art installations, dance, live demonstrations, and possibly even some things to taste at some point.

Omnivore
And if that wasn't complicated enough, there's also another culinary event in the city this weekend. Coming at the end of the Paris fashion week though, it will at least be a relief to see some people with some flesh on their bones.
So what is the USP of this event? Well, it is seemingly part of some world tour, and features a series of 'F***ing Dinners' (their term, not mine) at partner restaurants, as well as a big party at the Bataclan on Sunday evening. Cooking the new rock and roll? Or is rock and roll the new cooking?

You're right, Adam. Cynicism is called for here!
