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!

The brand new Distance store in Paris, fine running gear, charming crew and laser beam ceiling lighting.

Great place to start a day with a cup of coffee from the best roasters in the city, to eat lunch, to have an aperitif with your friends and to listen to a jazz concert every weekend.

Bless. I had an internship here in 2013, and had the most wonderful experience. My favourite time of the day is when we have lunch on the little bench outside of the shop and passerby will shout out bon appetit. :) I love the products from bless. Absolutely original and uncool :)

Le Select is a “brasserie” where I like to have a drink in spring and summer especially by night.
