Spend about 70 minutes with French comedian Olivier Giraud at Théâtre des Nouveautés, a century-old theater near Grands Boulevards. His English-language one-man show pokes fun at Parisian manners, accents, gestures, and daily habits, with audience participation and a short question period after the performance.

“My only regret was not seeing this at the start of our trip so I would know how to behave in Paris LOL. Great location, razor sharp wit and just the right amount of show.”
