citylikeyou — Boulevard Magenta X Rue Du Faubourg Saint Denis

Paris / Place

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!

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.

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 / Restaurant

Great place for coffee in the morning, delicious homy lunch, or a drink in the evening. It's a cosy neighborhood joint, with a fun crowd and vintage furnitures

Paris / Shop

Thrift shop with sweet prices and good choice.

Paris / Architecture

Even on rainy days beautifully moody.

Paris / Event

Le dernier étage d'un parking transformé en jardins suspendu: lieu insolite, cadre très agréable aéré et lumineux, concerts, stands de bouffe, bars, petits endroits où se caler.
