The 11th arrondissement is the embodiment of hip Paris. Between the coffee shops and the tables tucked away under the radar, it’s a haven for great addresses. It’s simple: creative restaurants, craft beer bars, natural wines, and quirky concepts are plentiful there.
As night falls, concert halls, bars, and clubs keep the partygoers moving to a mix of sounds that mingle every genre, letting you dance until dawn. Among the can't-miss venues on the Paris scene: the Opéra Bastille, the Bataclan, and the Gibus.
Art lovers can also discover, near Saint-Ambroise, l'Atelier des Lumières, the first digital art hub in Paris and its immersive exhibitions, while toward Filles du Calvaire the Cirque d'Hiver wows kids and grown-ups alike.
