Journalist Agnes Poirier reports on big autumn events in Paris, including a Monet exhibition, French cartoons in the Bibliotheque Forney and an interesting new bistro.

What's hot and what's not in Paris this autumn? Journalist Agn猫s Poirier divides her time between London and the French capital and is ideally placed to report on the most coveted tickets on both banks of the Seine. Is the so-called 'beacon exhibition' at the Grand Palais, "Claude Monet 1840-1926" all it's cracked up to be? At the other end of the artistic scale, Agn猫s learns more about the French national obsession with 'BD' - bande dessin茅e or strip cartoon at a show in the Biblioth猫que Forney. And - parlons gastronomie - no report from Paris could possibly be complete without news of the culinary arts... a new bistro that, says Agn猫s, "marries conviviality with political utopia..." Bon appetit!
