If you need somewhere to contemplate leaving your lover, go alone, and if you don't mind them not being there to share something sublime in a glass or a dish, you have your answer.

Agnès b. place dedicated to contemporary art in the 13th arr. of Paris. If you like Basquiat, Warhol, Jon Giorno or if you're just curious, go there !

Good art bookshop that also sells prints and limited artwork.

A cute little restaurant with good sandwiches with a wink on the south east of France. And nice cookies ! Yummy

The majority of creative agencies in Paris are located along Canal Saint Martin so everyday the banks of the canal are full of artists and creative people enjoying their lunch break. If one is lucky enough to be around the canal on a sunny day its the best place to enjoy a drink.
