In late September, there's an interesting and important gathering of writers, dramatists and musicians from other French-speaking countries at the Festival International des Théâtres Francophones. Gourmets should make sure their visit coincides with the third Friday in October, for the Frairie des Petits Ventres, when the entire population turns out to gorge on everything from pig's trotters to sheep's testicles in the rue de la Boucherie. Otherwise, there's a festival of street theatre in June and the Dance émoi contemporary dance festival every two years in January, the next one being in 2003.
