Great, little music and artsy venue on the Seine…read more We went to see the modernized version of Black Flag ( 80's punk rock group) on June 15th, 2025. The venue is smallish but comfortable. Clean bathrooms, various excellent food choices outside, both interior and rooftop bars, all on a converted boat on the Seine. We felt safe in the area, plenty of security in and out even at 1:00 a.m. ( outside). After an event it is just too nice and irresistible to just saunter along the Seine at night ( river has been cleaned up...no bad smells during our visit) Bookings are easy via the DICE app from Google play (don't know abt Apple). Great place for various events. I highly recommend.

Table: 11 persons no service quality apart from 1 guy. Girls…read morewere impolite and we really felt we were disrupting them from something. appetizers were heathen up supermarket food. Had to wait for 1 hour and half to have main dish that never arrived. We decided to leave the place. No commercial initiative at all. A lot of people came to complain about their waiting. Not enough professional waiters and not enough chefs to deal with the crowd. May be cool for one drink but avoid for lunch/dinner.

MM has a moniker: the Cubist Acropolis ( thanks Picasso!!)…read more My, did I seriously walk this very real hill today! Started at the cemetery where Dalida is laid. Nosy nosy Jana wanted to scout out all the private passages (they're locked with a gate), the über $$$$ Hôtel Particulaire and Terrasse, all the nice restaurants and such. It's so much fun walking hills and spotting all the peekaboo views once one gets to the top. The historic farming windmills, the cobblestones and narrowed small lanes, the kids at school holding hands in pairs, headed to a school field trip. It's all quite provincial in Montmartre, and it has come to be one of my favorite places in Paris to walk. Simply like Notting Hill, north of Hyde Park. It touches me, walking about. Great feeling of small town living.

Made the pilgrimage here with the specific goal of visiting French gypsy jazz legend Django…read moreReinhardt's Selmer guitar. After spending decades listening to the music made on it, call it a religious experience for this life-long musician. The museum itself I only saw bits and pieces of but it's impressive, said to have over 7,000 musical instruments. I was only interested in one, but if this kind of collection is your thing, you could hardly go wrong. Easy access on the #5 Metro from central Paris. Fairly clean, easily accessible area and the museum is but a couple hundred yards from the Metro and sits aside a large piazza with fountains and other attractions. Several nice cafes and bistros nearby that tempted.

Came here on a Tuesday night with a friend for a Salsa night…read more Plenty of people dancing salsa and zumba. They have classes starting at 9pm. Cover is 10 euros. The place starts clearing out around 1am because people are trying to catch the last trains back home. Lots of fun, recommend it if you are looking to dance in Paris.

This place is oya-some…read more Came here on a rainy day, trying to avoid the tourist standards as we'd been to Paris before. This was a great choice. It was busy but there was space for us. There were two guys running the place, both of whom spoke great English and were enthusiastic about recommending and explaining games. Their passion was infectious and enjoyable. We selected one game after having told them what we liked and being recommended 4 to choose from. We started to set it up, but then were asked if another couple could join us. This was actually really pleasant as it was a good way to meet people without it being awkward or there being any pressure! I talked to one of the managers/owners(?) after and he said part of his job was making introductions and helping people to get on, which was really nice. Anyway, we played Splendor, which occupied us for over 2 hours (we played it 3 times). This was good fun and a good recommendation. We then switched and played Spectaculum, which was also fun though we weren't as interested in playing it again. Considering that boardgames are actually pretty expensive, I thought this was a really good way to try a few out. Oya does sell games too, though they don't sell hard - my boyfriend only realised when he asked whether they knew where he could buy a copy of a different game (Gaia), which it turns out they had in the back! A lot of the charm is in how relaxed this place feels - it feels like it is run for love, not money, and there is no pressure to hurry up or buy drinks. In the end, it was 9 euros each for 2 boardgames and 1 drink, and we were there almost 4 hours. If we'd stuck with one board game, it would have been 6 euros. Well worth it!
