FOOD DATING

Le Zébra Square: It will certainly provide food for conversation, but will it also cause indigestion? This restaurant will begin holding food dating sessions every second Saturday of the month on Feb. 9, 2013, at 8pm. 3, place Clément Ader, 75016 Paris. Tel.: 01 44 14 91 91. €45 per person.

AIRPORT ART

Espace Musée: Now you can catch some art on the fly. A new “museum space” designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte has opened in Terminal 2E of Roissy/Charles-de-Gaulle Airport. It will hold two exhibitions per year, with works furnished by major Paris museums, beginning with “Les Ailes de la Gloire,” featuring 40 sculptures from the Musée Rodin. Free admission, open when the airport is.
