Guidebook for Paris
Food Scene
I have worked there as a barista for two years; I used to be the manager of Nuage Café :)
It's an old convent that the owners transformed into a co-working-living space. It's quiet, and it feels like home.
For 5€/hour, you can eat and drink as much as you'd like (you pay for the time you spend, not for what you eat). They use specialty coffee (KAWA) that is delicious, have soy milk. Snacks aren't homemade (just so you know).
Ancient furniture from the owners' grandparents, clouds floating above your head, the cocoon upstairs is my favorite space. They have a piano upstairs, don't miss it!
Whether you want to stop for coffee and snacks, get some work done or take a nap, that's the place you shouldn't miss, and you'll remember that place forever.

In the heart of Montmartre, it'll be perfect before a walk in the heart of Paris!
BEST BRUNCH EVER! All you can eat for less than 25€
Delicious homemade food! From croissant to the hot chocolate to there baby omelets and gratin Dauphinois, it's one of the best brunches I've had! :)
I highly recommend arriving 15mn before the opening as you can't make reservations. Therefore, if there's a line, you can give your number, so they save your spot and call you when it's almost your turn ;)
Bon appétit!

Sightseeing
Before you leave the house, grab two glasses and a bottle opener. If it's daytime and sunny, you should consider finger picking food to make a pic nic !
Bike or stop at Abbesses metro station (line 12 and 2). Walk in the area to get a taste of the old Paris. Buy a bottle of your favorite drink (red wine is what I highly suggest!) in a shop nearby.
Walk towards the Sacré Coeur (take the funicular or the stairs - be prepared if you choose that option) and sit on the grass or on the stairs, to enjoy the view.
Take a deep breath, smile and sip your drink. There you are, in the heart of Paris, doing what every Parisian does to feel alive :)
Enjoy ;)

Cocktails & Nightlife
My selection of the finest cocktail bars!
Sherry Butt
20 Rue BeautreillisOne of my favorite cocktail bars :)
That cocktail bar is 10mn walk from the flat, it's my HQ, I love it! Awesome cocktails (you can ask for what you want), barmen and barmaid are wearing only a shirt and a bowtie...and underwear. You don't want to miss that place!

Le Hasard Ludique
128 Av. de Saint-OuenBar, club, live music ! Located in an old train station :)
If you want to know me better, going to that place is like visiting my second home. In the heart of the city, close to République, that little bar will blow your mind.
Their products are fresh, homemade, and French. Let them tell you where their ingredients come from; it's always outstanding to see how passionate they are!
Sparkles in cocktails? Yes, please! Ask for a cocktail with "the" ice cube in it; you won't be disappointed ;)

Parks & Nature
Close to my previous home. It's a bit far, but if you're in the area of Champs Elysées, you should go! I love to have picnics there, it's awesome to read, write, walk or for a morning run :)

If you want to see Paris from above, that's where you want to go :) I'm lucky to live very close by to the Coulée Verte. It's "our" Highline (yes, much different from the one in New York, but still a Highline!). I won't say much, except that it's a must-do if you like to walk, and want to escape from the noise of Paris' ground 0.
