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

Paris / Restaurant

Classical delicious french food, very cheap with a 1900s' vintage decorations.

Paris / Cinema

This cinema is located in a modern part of the city. You won’t find any old buildings there and no tourists either. We love this place because it’s located just next to the « Bibliothèque National de France ». This place is huge and this kind of hugeness spaces are very unusual to find in Paris. When you place yourself in the middle of the 4 buildings and look up, it almost makes you dizzy because of the vastness of the place. We love it because it makes us feel free and at the same time completely overwhelmed by the space. Paris is one of the city in the world where you can find the more cinemas. And you have food trucks with nice food just in front of it to have a snack to enjoy a nice movie.

Paris / Museum

My favourite musem in Paris! Go to the book store, full of books and arty gadgets.

Paris / Restaurant

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

Paris / Bakery

Bakery & pastry close to Montmartre in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, near Les Abbesses. Sébastien Mauvieux, the owner & baker, has been awarded for the best baguette of Paris in 2012. I recommend les chouquettes and also le flan ! And I had the pleasure to create the visual identity and packaging.
