Last time we went to Paris we went to two unusual (inhabituel) shows:

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

A play (pièce de théâtre), African stories inspired by Shakespeare in Polish with over titles in French! And it lasted 5h15 with two entr'actes! In fact we enjoyed it, we didn't see anything African and sometimes it was difficult to find Shakespeare, but it was an excellent experience. Some spectators had their sandwiches and drinks, it was really an unusual evening out (en ville).

Another unusual evening was musical this time:

It was at the jazz club 'Sunset', The musicians were two flutists - three flutes each -, a double bass and a drummer. The lady playing was Nicole Mitchell who was Eddie Murphy's wife and mother of his four children!

She certainly is different.
