Make a day of northeast Paris
Choose an arts hall, a hillside park or a Cambodian meal. Four starting points for getting beyond the centre.
Culture Paris
Books and a café stop offer a slower way to spend time in the Marais.
La Mouette Rieuse brings a bookshop, café, gallery and changing pop-up spaces together in the Marais. Books are the starting point, but the programme also includes talks and signings, giving the address a life beyond its shelves.
Leave time to browse before taking a café break. It works particularly well as a slower interlude between neighbourhood walks, with the current events programme offering a reason to build a visit around an author or subject.
