I will be going to the French Open Semi-finals on June 5th.
What is the best way to get to the stadium from my hotel in Paris? Taxi or train? Where do I take the train near my hotel? Which train station should I take and in which one should I drop off?
I will be staying in Pavillon Saint Augustin.
The hotel address is:
Pavillon Saint Augustin ***
16 rue de la Pépinière – 75008 PARIS
Desires (Désirs) is the new show at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris. Starting from September 21, 2009 with the launch of the new Crazy Horse show the temperature will rise in Paris.
Crazy Horse Paris Désirs
The new show Désirs, which is directed by Philippe Decouflé and artistic director Ali Mahdavi, is inspired by the eternal theme of femininity, and consists of a series of highly aesthetic and visual tableaus presented by the legendary troupe Crazy Horse dancers. On stage in Paris are the sensual, playful and evocative legends such as Zula Zazou, Jade Or, Psykko Tico and Nooka Karamel.
These classically trained dancers and their spectacular bodies perfectly integrate the sensuous choreography of their performances. Each dancer is bathed in richly colored and textured lighting designs. The colors and images from the dazzling light effects are so vast that it is hard to determine where skin of the gorgeous Crazy Horse dancer ends and the color reflections begin.
The Crazy Horse Paris was originally a wine bar at the Right Bank of the river Seine. Customers, seated at little tables or standing at the bar, came for a drink and to admire famous dancers such as Rita Renoir, Poupée la Rose, Bertha Von Paraboum, Lova Moor or Rosa Fumetto. In 1989 Alain Bernardin turned the Crazy Horse into a tiny theatre.

Paris Art Karel Appel
These large format paintings play very freely with classic themes – landscapes, still lives and human figures. The energy that runs through these paintings is always associated with a very keen sense of construction. The touch is firm, full, and the sudden presence of a pair of boots, trivial and majestic at once, of course, is somewhat reminiscent of his compatriot Vincent van Gogh.
Karel Appel (Amsterdam 1921 – Zürich 2006) was one of the leading painters in the second half of the twentieth century and his name is attached to the Cobra movement, which was a source of energy.
Paris Art Galerie Larock Granoff, 13 Quai de Conti in Paris, presents from September 9, ceramics made by Karel Appel in 1997 in the workshops of the Galerie Lelong in collaboration with Hans Spinner.
