Thrift shop with sweet prices and good choice.

We are addicted to Poussin. Agathe (in the kitchen) and Robin (with the wine) are so talented and super nice. Poussin is a mix between a restaurant and a wine bar. Amazing natural wine, crazy high quality cuisine and tasty products. The very new French cuisine and the atmosphere is so chill and yet alive. We're just in love with Poussin.

Opened in 2011 by the people at Magnum Photo Agency (their Paris bureau is a few streets away), Le Bal is an institutional exhibition space dedicated to the documentary image. For the most part that means lots of photography exhibits but they like to mix up the shows with videos and especially books. They hold conferences with a great line-up of guest speakers and screen documentaries and other films at the nearby Cinéma de Cinéastes. Be sure to check out the bookshop where you can browse through their connoisseur’s collection of high-end photo books and limited edition zines. Le Bal Café is a great place to meet friends for a quick drink or sit down and taste Anna and Alice’s Anglo-French cuisine. And if you’re wondering why it’s called Le Bal, the space was once a dance hall cum brothel in the roaring ‘20s.

Great coffee and records shop

This lively bar is located in the heart of Pigalle. I love to spend time there as soon as it gets warmer. This good spot is the meeting place of many artists, and nice people.
