La Maroquinerie

“Set up near Ménilmontant Métro station and nestled in a corner of Paris that’s quickly rising to become one of the city’s hip, modern hang-outs, you’ll find La Bellevilloise. By day, it’s an art and cultural center for exhibitions, film screenings, concerts and events, with a ambiently lit café. By night, it becomes a trendy indie clubbing experience. Believe it or not, the venue was the site of Paris’s first workers’ cooperative and has been an important cultural landmark since 1877. Today, the building has two levels, a terrace and sofas to snuggle on with friends.”

“This is one of the most famous theatre of Paris. There is always a very fine theatre program.”

“It makes you work out a little (too many stairs) but it's worth it, beautiful view and cute bars.”

“Independent Movie Theater. All films in original version. Subtitled in French of course. Special sessions for kids on week-end mornings.”

“Great place to take a café in the morning or a aperitif in the evening. Place Martin Nadaud is nice and sunny until nightfall. Les Foudres also serve good foods for lunch & dinner. ”
