A personal guide by Sketchy Shona, the artist name of Shona Neary.
These are my Paris recommendations: the cave jazz club for live music, 59 Rivoli to meet artists, Bassin de la Villette for good local vibes and artist-filled bars at night, Le Plateau for art by living artists, and Le Bar Fleuri for traditional, inexpensive French food with local vibes.
Jazz, artists and contemporary art
- Caveau de la Huchette is the cave jazz place I go for live music. Show up early for the best seats.
- 59 Rivoli is where I go to meet artists and see the work taking shape in their studios.
- Le Plateau is where I go to see art by living artists. Check the current exhibitions and opening hours before setting out.
Local Paris at night and at the table
- Bassin de la Villette: good local vibes and artist-filled bars at night.
- Le Bar Fleuri is my stop for traditional, inexpensive French food with local vibes. Check the current details before you go.
