A grubby, ugly and grey crossroads, yet strangely beautiful by the evening sun. It always makes me happy when I pass through because ten minutes walk in any direction leads to some of my favourite places: the best fromager, thrift stores, the best boulangerie for tartes, the canal, bars, my apartment, B.D. (comix) shops, the best butcher, the huge deco Rex cinema, the best veg markets, my band's underground rehearsal room, my part time job, art galleries, etc etc!

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

Good art bookshop that also sells prints and limited artwork.

Full and amazing LGBT+ and feminist bookstore (english and french books).

Sunday walk by the river. In the summer bring a bottle.
