HÔTEL DE VILLE and the heart of Paris The heart of Paris is a delightful mixture of old stone and contemporary architecture, narrow alleyways and wide open spaces close to the Seine. It is home to a wonderful blend of classical art and urban culture, which can be broken up by shopping breaks or time out to enjoy gourmet food. EXHIBITION • PLAY ALONG AT THE GAÎTÉ LYRIQUE 26 June to 5 August Since 2011, digital culture has been making its mark at the Gaîté lyrique through an eclectic programme. In Play Along, you will fi nd yourself in a building transformed into a life-sized playground. Your mission? To explore new ways to play in the 21st century, with the aid of giant board games, construction games... and video games, of course! Play Along is no rigid nostalgic exhibition: instead, it relies on the interplay between the interactive and the theatrical, with a series of performances and sneak previews to crown it off. 3 bis Rue Papin, Paris 3rd arrondissement. Metro station: Réaumur-Sébastopol. Tuesday to Saturday 2 pm - 8 pm, Sundays 2 pm - 6 pm. Tuesdays until 10 pm during the exhibition period. +33 (0) 1 53 01 51 51. www.gaite-lyrique.net POMPIDOU CENTRE This colourful and futuristic cruise liner has been sailing the seas of culture and modern and contemporary art since 1977. On board, you will fi nd the Musée National d’Art Moderne, theatres, a bookshop, a designer boutique and a rich exhibition programme. • MATISSE. PAIRS AND SETS Until 18 June This retrospective exhibition sheds light on one of the most peculiar aspects of Henri Matisse’s work, the repetition of the same subject or motif, through a selection of his masterpieces. These sixty paintings, assembled together in some cases for the fi rst time since the era in which they were created, bring together different kinds of framing, outline, brushstroke and colour. All the main periods are represented, from the pointillist method featuring in Luxe, Calme et Volupté in 1904 to the découpage of the 1950s. The artist’s work is thus on display in its entirety, complete with his self-probings, breaking-offs, turnarounds and achievements. See p. 13 • GERHARD RICHTER Until 24 September This artist will be taking over the Pompidou Centre: a whole four months to discover half a century of contemporary painting! Hôtel de Ville • ANRI SALA Until 6 August This exhibition, featuring four fi lms (moments captured in Berlin, Bordeaux, Mexico City and Sarajevo) on a loop accompanied by an amazing soundtrack, along with sculptures, artefacts and photographs will transport you into a kaleidoscopic universe. Anri Sala’s work blends together images, sounds and architecture. This installation is a presentation of all three, in keeping with the Centre Pompidou’s approach of showcasing artists at the forefront of the French scene. • LE GEORGES On the 6th and uppermost fl oor, Le Georges restaurant, with its avant-garde décor, serves extraordinary cocktails as well as an inventive cuisine with a talent for reinterpreting classic dishes.
