1 restaurant : Sur un arbre perché
Comfortably installed in a cabin or balancing in a seesaw, let's taste this delicately flavoured cooking. Yes, eating with your friends in a cabin is possible in Paris! It is an expensive restaurant, yet not too expensive considering the quality of the food and the fact that it is a concept restaurant.
Here are some examples of what you can drink (drinks from fair trade) :
fruit juices from Brasil, cafés noisette from Mexico, or traditionnal banana-beers from Ghana,...
.... and eat (in french) :
- Panier de légumes bio parfumés à l'essence d'amandes et mêlée d'alpha salades (22 euros)
- Millefeuille de chèvre frais et son croquant à la quinoa, chutney de figue et abricot à la vanille, poivrons grillés et coulés de tomate
- Dos de filet de dorade royale pêché à l'huile d'olive, risetto de vert à la crème de soja et jeunes pousses de roquette au parmesan (21 euros)
It is creative, fraught with intimacy. Experience the atmosphere and cooking as soon as possible.
A detail that is often relevant for a restaurant : the toilets ! In Sur un arbre perché, you can also enjoy the cabin atmosphere in the toilets. I don't say more....
THE PLUS : The cocooning parenthesis with the massage and relaxation espace... ! Before lunch or dinner or independently from a meal.

1 club : Le divan du monde
Let me introduce you to a highly famous parisian club from the 19th Century. Incontrovertible for musical events and for international videos. It's a place for diffusion, events and creations dedicated to music, dance, theater and cinema. An auditorium at the ground floor and a "divan japonais" (= japanese couch) upstairs.
Le divan du monde invites artists who want a long-term programmation, who want to encourage proximity with the audience, the development of a career and a total imersion into a world which is, each time, peculiar to the artist. Eclectic, choc and trendy atmosphere. For those who love shows.
Auditorium : from 7 pm to 11 pm
Divan japonais : from 11 pm to 3 am
75 rue des Martyrs
Underground : Pigalle
1 bar : Zéro de conduite
"THe" must for "adulescents" (french neologism which means : adults who want to stay teenagers). Cocktails - with childish names like Popeye or Bambi - are to be drunk in baby bottles. One can eat candies, watch cartoons on abig screen or play board games. Lollipops or small drinks can be won during the "minute du Trivial poursuit"... for the ones who answer fast. This small bar (not more than 40 people) is the best place to go back to your childhood. One question remains : should we ask our parents for a permission ?
New : baby's bottles are now to take away. You have the right to keep it. If you come back with it, you will only have to pay for the recharges !
During holidays : party "youpi l'école est finie" (= great, school is over)

1 bookstore : Shakespeare and Co
At the heart of Paris, rive gauche, the bookstore Shakespeare and Company is a must for english literature. All literature enthusiasts will enjoy the place : classic books, sometimes very old ones (which remind us of the library in Hogwards) but also the most recent publications. To be short : a nice combination between nostalgia and trend... In the middle of the Quartier latin (for centuries center of Paris' creativity and intelligentsia), this library has also a major role in the english-speaking cultural community. It welcomes many writers, organises readings, workshops and other kind of meetings. One is for sure : Shakespeare and Company is not only a bookstore. It is also a library for english-speaking literature. The first floor is reserved for travellers, knows as "tumbleweeds" who can get free accomodation there in return for a few yours of work per day.
George Whitman is the legendary owner of Shakespeare and Company. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, he made Paris his home sixty years ago. George is a bibliophilia, wants his guests to read one book per day and thinks that he lives in a novel. This 91 years old man has recently retired but he remains the soul of the bookstore.
A real " wonderland for books"

1 show : au Palace
After being close for ten years, le Palace reopens with the goal to be what it used to be : a theater. A famous place which has seen the tops of haute couture (YVSL, Lagerfeld, Kenzo, Mugler...) and of show business (among others Andy Warhol)
Crazy, funny and elegant programming which began with Valérie Lemercier...

Underground : Pigalle
1 exhibition : David LaChapelle, Musée de la Monnaie
Enough with huge adverts, the famous american photographer LaChapelle is now working for "art". The exhibtion makes us discover installations made of car wrecks in cardboard hanged on walls, all kind of paintings, two excited pigs. Stars are never really far away : Paris Hilton watching herself in a mirror, Naomi Campbell lying on a table. The most famous pictures as well as unknown ones are exhibited. Exclusively and for the first time in Europe, the audience will have the chance to discover the last series of 2008 : Présages d’Innocenc. This series is very innovative because the artist pushes the borders of photography away in order to create paintings where the look can go from the 2D to the 3D.
A retrospective of 200 pieces, the biggest that has ever been organised in France.
Until May, 31st, 2009
10 euros
(cheap rate : 8 euros)

Underground : Pont neuf
1 encompassing cultural place :
Les Trois Baudets.
On February 10th and after nine months of rebuilding, Les Trois Baudets reopened. It used to be a high place for parisian shows. Now it wants to become a new place for musical audacity and discovery. With two bars, a restaurant and cultural initiatives for all, it won't be a simple diffusion place. The concert hall tries to be what it used to be : a hall where a lot of artists debute and a place for "independant" music (compared to the mainstream commercial music) with workshops (how to write songs), conferences, debates, showcases,.... One should know that many french careers have begun there : Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Henri Salvador, Juliette Gréco, Boris Vian, Serge Gainsbourg, etc....
Open from tuesdays to sundays
54 boulevard de Clichy
