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 !

It's always good to check out what's happening in Fondation Cartier. They have lots of really good exhibitions of modern art, and the gallery itself is very beautiful. Perfect for seeing works you already know as well as discovering new artists and inspirations.

Great place to have a drink at night, take a coffee or eat. The dishes are very well prepared and very qualitative, reasonable prices.

The Porte Saint-Denis marks a multi-cultural spot in the city. Pick any place for food and drinks in Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis.

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)
