Eclectic, easy-going venues like this are more common in Barcelona than in Paris, but here in an old 600 square-metre barn is this offbeat, shabby chic bar, touched with colonial stylings in its black and white tiled floors, stylish chandeliers, red carpets and African souvenirs piled up in every corner. As you walk in, the size of the space blows you away – two enormous, shadowy rooms connected by a smoking area formed from a tropical garden in an enormous greenhouse that creates a well of light in the centre of the venue. In another corner sits a cabinet of curiosities, full of neat rows of skeletons, rare bird feathers and stuffed animals.

Parks & Nature
Parc Montsouris
Cité Universitaire
The Jardin du Luxembourg is located in the 6th arrondissement, and is where the locals go for a run, so why not join them and discover all the statues and artwork the park has to offer while burning those extra calories from all the crepes and cheese? The park was created in 1612 and has since evolved to become the beautiful space it is today: home to six tennis courts and a playground as well as impressive sculptures. Things to be done here include pony rides, sailing your sailboat in the central fountain and enjoying a famous Guignol puppet show.
