Paris this weekend: Art Basel at the Grand Palais and Paris Games Week

Damien Chazelle’s Babylon is screened at the Grand Rex with its score played live by a jazz band conducted by Justin Hurwitz, who wrote it and won Oscars for La La Land. It is the film’s first run as a cine-concert, three hours of 1920s Hollywood.

Two shows on Saturday, 14:00 and 20:00, in English with French subtitles; the 20:00 one is down to its last tickets. Seats are numbered; metro Bonne Nouvelle.

A professional brocante takes over avenue de la République and avenue Parmentier by the Village Timbaud, around 80 professional dealers, so antiques and second-hand furniture rather than a vide-grenier, two streets from Oberkampf.

Both days, listings say from 7:30 to 19:00, metro Parmentier. Go early for the best pieces, and keep some cash for the small ones.
