Most Parisiens take their coffee standing up at the bar, talking to some mates hanging out with them. If not, they like to have a look at who’s passing by but some of them like to read their newspaper. Not all the places have them but one of these places is Le relais Odeon. 

At the carrefour de l’Odéon, this Art Deco café has a marvelous pewter bar, fantastic bar stools, and a cozy interior. Read the excellent local daily Le … Parisien, the conservative Le Figaro, or check up on the latest rugby scores in L’Equipe.

On walking distance from the Montmartre Studio Loft is a little café called La Fourmi . It’s a nice hangout place where you surely can meet some lonely locals. The drinks are good and so are the prices. For one or another reason, it seems to be almost always sunny on their terrace when we come there.

I got a mail of VINGT Paris telling that they plan to attend Fitzcarraldo film screening at La Villette next Sunday 16 August 2009 from 8:00 p.m. at:

Parc de la Villette
Prairie du Triangle
Metro : Porte de Pantin

You will find VINGT Paris because they will be handling colorful balloons! So there’s no way you miss them!

Bring things to sit on, food and drinks, warmer clothes for the cooler temperatures when the sun goes down. You can also rent a deck chair for 6,50 euros.

In case it’s raining,  take a drink at Point Éphémère’s restaurant at:

200 Quai de Valmy
Métro Jaurès (lines 5, 2 & 7 bis) & Louis Blanc (line 7)
