citylikeyou — Aux Folies — Paris by Tom Moglu

Paris / Bar

Messy, busy, mangled, cheap, friendly and relaxed bar in Belleville. Unchanged for years, just layered with tags, stickers, laquered beer spillage and cigarette ash; but bright and light at the same time.

Address
Aux Folies, 8, Rue de Belleville, 75020, Paris, France

Tom Moglu is a UK artist based in France, working in abstract paper collage. He has moved around in the last few years via Bristol-London-Cornwall-Berlin-Norfolk and Paris, looking at floors, doors and shores and picking up scrap paper along the way. His background as a painter, model animator, and illustrator informs the balance, colour and tactile nature of the collages. He is currently starting to branch out into ceramics, print and textiles.

Paris / Market

Great place, great food.

Paris / Restaurant

One of my favorite place to eat when there is nothing in the fridge. It may look like a traditional french bistro, but the food is anything but. The chef Kaori Endo is serving Franco-Japanese little plates for lunch and big plate to share with friends during the diner. There is also many lovely natural wines and I strongly recommend that "Lou Cantoun" glass of natural white wine !

Paris / Museum

A quite special museum and soulfood in the 9th arrondissement packed with Moreau's work, who established and decorated it himself, so that his works could be gathered and displayed the way he wanted. He lived and worked there all his life long, and was ready in 1896… Two years later he died at the age of 72.

Paris / Canal

Promenade along the water, two cinemas face to face linked by a riverbus, bookshop, bars (specially BarOurcq 68 quai de Loire), restaurants, theater barge…

Paris / Museum

I love to spend time in this museum, with great exhibitions about : fashion, graphic design, jewelry and toys. The bookshop is also really good. And basically... architecture !
