Cool bar-restaurant in the parc of Les Buttes Chaumont, quiet, peaceful with good cocktails

It's always good to check out what's happening in Fondation Cartier. They have lots of really good exhibitions of modern art, and the gallery itself is very beautiful. Perfect for seeing works you already know as well as discovering new artists and inspirations.

Great place to start a day with a cup of coffee from the best roasters in the city, to eat lunch, to have an aperitif with your friends and to listen to a jazz concert every weekend.

Beautiful independant Cinema recently restaured hiding a rooftop bar. If you ask nicely you can access the bar without having to buy a ticket to movie and enjoy the view on one of the most dynamic avenues of the city. Mosaic lovers will enjoy.

The most fantastic selection of old toys and kid's memorabilia, better than a museum. Is there every version of every action figure ever made? I've received gifts of a 1950s Peter Pan penknife and an original ET ring from here, so now some lucky friends get presents from the huge range.
