The very first place i've been in Paris.  My first month in the city, i spend over 800€ in this bar (true story) It's simple, warm and friendly, drinks are not so expensive (for Paris...). You can talk with every body, people there are open minded and funny (but only because everybody is drunk)

A book shop with so many books that you can search for nothing but find anything. The owner is a member of the 70's french graphic design group Bazooka.

A very good choice of art books and artistic gifts

A paradise for a rest : waterfalls, restaurants and bars (crazy parties at the top of the hills in Rosa Bonheur) As soon as the sun is shining people are going there to share a drink or a meal, lying on the grass surrounded by blazing green.

Great place for coffee in the morning, delicious homy lunch, or a drink in the evening. It's a cosy neighborhood joint, with a fun crowd and vintage furnitures
