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!

Great concept store by two passionate sisters. Design shop, workshop space but also a café with delicious coffee, pastries and vegeterian dishes : something unique !

There is something moral to design things that will last for a very long time, for me it is important to visit the modernists. It is always stimulating and joyfull to visit the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou.

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 !
