Le Verre volé is a cool place where I like to have a deliciously outstanding and friendly lunch. By the way, the no sulfite wines such as “Dard et Ribo” are amazing.

Le dernier étage d'un parking transformé en jardins suspendu: lieu insolite, cadre très agréable aéré et lumineux, concerts, stands de bouffe, bars, petits endroits où se caler.
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)
I go to the flea market in St Ouen to look for old cameras and expired film. But it’s also a great place to see all the different walks of life from Paris’ extreme social scene. At the top of the ladder you’ve got the aristo-bourgeois crowd acquiring Louis XV furniture at the indoor antiques markets; the thirty-something bobo set paying way over the odds for mid-century designer chairs and formica tables; the banlieusards from the Neuf Trois getting kitted out with the latest sneakers and hoodies along the rue des Rosières; then at the very bottom you’ve got people trying to scratch a living selling second hand food at the Carré des biffes at Porte Montmartre. It’s an eye opener for sure.
