Today, they are among the most cele- brated indie pop newcomers in Ire- land, the UK and beyond. Their ac- claimed debut album Everything This Way was released in January 2016, including the hit singles “Speed- ing cars” and “Catch me if you can”. Currently, Walking on Cars is touring Europe, enthralling fans with their soft piano and guitar sounds, emotive lyrics and hymnic pop songs. Catch the band in Paris tonight.

From the top of Tour Montparnasse, visitors have a spectacular 360-degree view of the French capital. The tower overlooks Paris and its most famous attractions, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe, from a height of 200 meter.

Marché des Enfants Rouges • Times: 8:00–19:00 • Address: 39 rue de Bretagne • marchedesenfantsrougesfr.com The Marché des Enfants Rouges, hidden behind an old iron gate in the third arrondissement, is the oldest covered market in Paris. It offers a va- riety of freshly made foods from all around the world, as well as flowers, fruit and vegetables, fish, wine and bread. Visitors can try everything, in- cluding Japanese and Italian cuisine and even Lebanese and Moroccan specialties, at the market’s numerous food stalls. Founded in 1628, the “market of the red children” is named after a nearby orphanage whose young residents were dressed in red, the colour of Christian charity. Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris • Times: 8:00–18:45 • Address: 6 Parvis Notre-Dame Place Jean-Paul II • www.notredamedeparis.fr In 2013, the cathedral of Notre- Dame de Paris celebrated its 850th an- niversary. The Gothic sanctuary, which is one of the most visited mon- uments in Paris and one of the main symbols of France, has an eventful history. Built in the Middle Ages on the site of a former Roman temple, the cathedral was the location of sev- eral royal weddings and coronation ceremonies, among them the corona- tion of Napoleon I in 1804. Badly dam- aged during the French revolution, the cathedral was fully restored by architect and art historian Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc in the nine- teenth century. To date, Notre-Dame is considered one of the finest exam- ples of French Gothic architecture. It offers much else to discover, includ- ing catholic relics and holy music, as well as French art and history. Oliver Twist: Le Musical • Starting time: 8:00 • Venue: La Salle Gaveau (45–47 rue La Boétie) • www.olivertwist-lemusical.fr The tale of Oliver Twist—an or- phaned boy in nineteenth-century England who suffers poverty, hunger and the cruelty of society right from the start, yet remains optimistic and courageous—is one of the most fa- mous and adapted works of Charles Dickens. In this theatrical adaptation performed at the charming tradi- tional Parisian theatre La Salle Gaveau, a troupe of 15 actors, danc- ers and singers, as well as an or- chestra of seven musicians, brings Dickens’ classic to the stage. The French musical, with English surti- tles, features original compositions and interprets Dickens’ amiable, as well as satirical, characters with pas- sion and genius.
