Fun and entertainment Paris 20th 75020

You will have to climb the hill of Belleville, get lost in a maze of little frequented streets, but full of charm, and you will find this place so typical, whose name alone sums up the spirit. Here, songs, accordion, evenings dedicated to the kid Piaf, to the barrel organ with Riton the Crank, you will have understood it, one resuscitates a Paris of former days. To have a drink or enjoy a board to share, for a meal with good products, simple cuisine and desserts that hold the body, it is also an excellent place. If the ghosts of the artists of yesteryear hover here, it's no coincidence. You will have understood that this is an institution.

You will have to go to the 20th district to discover Artimus. And frankly, you will hardly regret it. First of all, because Artimus, the name of the professor who rules here, is really well thought out. The settings plunge you into spaces that are more real than life, and into different missions: Naples in the 16th century, distant exoplanets in the future etc... In groups (up to 5 people, but the place can also accommodate private events), it's time for reflection, deduction and team spirit.

For those who have enough of the rue de Charonne and its surroundings, the Piston Pelican is a bar where the atmosphere is good child. The name comes from a theatre troupe who loved the place and was there. The decor is classic and sober with the atmosphere, it remains whatever it is relaxed and festive. On the consumption side, you'll find what you're drinking with, in particular, vodka served by a metre or a pitcher mojito… Keep a little moderation! As far as music is concerned, it is an eclectic maximum: songs, gypsy jazz, rock, electro, blind evenings, DJ sets…

Here's one of these bistros, called bars-bars, which have a great success in the east of Paris, with their flea way, their excessifs rates and their casual animation. Or how simplicity can finally be combined with success and quality. Young and younger people talk easily and not talk about ways of doing things. In the afternoon, many people come to work, and the atmosphere will sometimes be studious. At the end of the day, the atmosphere relaxes and we share a good breakfast board without taking your head. Côté music is often jazz and French songs. DJ sets are also on the program.

A passage from the relaxation bellevillois, this old café-theatre today welcomes the most crowded evenings of the neighborhood. It turns between the terrace and the bar that abuzz thousands of conversations to catch a half good, to taste standing in the middle of a totally mixed crowd. It is also a lyrics, a lyrics, a belleville. The tables are beautifully decorated with antique colours illuminated by neon neon that go on the ceiling. And a few decades ago, Maurice Chevalier and Edith Piaf sang in this institution…

When you arrive, the establishment is first of all one of the most beautiful terraces overlooking the Eiffel Tower. Located on the belvedere, Moncoeur Belleville is a must in the neighborhood. The chef offers a trendy and seasonal cuisine at low prices. As for the drink, the staff is very inventive with for example, pieces of cucumber in water bottles to cool you off during the summer. Throughout the year, jazz concerts, pop and cappella singing are organized. Moreover, you can always play board games, ideal to enjoy this bar offering a great view for hours!

Some evenings are also dedicated to board games or tournaments of the Paris Improvisation League (see the programme on the café's website). The place succeeds in combining culture, good atmosphere, discovery and sharing. The staff is charming, even during peak periods.

The Tarmac was named International French-language theatre - Tilf - between its creation in 1985 and 2005, when it changed its name as executive. Valérie Baran succeeded Gabriel Garran. The latter's founding idea remains in force: present all forms of Francophone theatrical scriptures regardless of their geographical origins. Initially, the Tilf is nomadic. It occurs in various places - Pompidou Centre, National Chaillot Theatre, MC 93, storm theatre, Bouffes du Nord - and in national and international festivals. In 1993, it was recognised as a national interest and settled in the park of La Villette at the Pavillon du Charolais, a former bar of the cattle market in the theatre of one hundred and sixty squares. The Tarmac program is rich in surprises. This is where Maïmouna Gueye discovered in Bambi, she is black, but she is beautiful, provided a great success, as well as A Love Supreme, show jazz-theatre of Luc Clémentin according to the new of Emmanuel Dongala. Since the summer of 2011, the Tarmac has set sail and left La Villette. Direction Gambetta Avenue where the building then occupied by the Théâtre de l'Est Paris becomes its new house. More spacious, the room welcomes all French-speaking talents with passion.

For 50 years, Théâtre Ouvert in Paris has been a bastion for new stage talent, carrying the flame of an innovative and committed vision. Founded in 1971 by Lucien and Micheline Attoun, this nomadic venue moved behind the Moulin Rouge in 1981, becoming a place where generations of artists have come and gone. Today, on avenue Gambetta, the renovated theater, subsidized by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Paris, offers spaces conducive to the development of a contemporary repertoire, encouraging the works to flourish and their encounter with the public.
