In Paris, cafés have always been great places to meet people and they play an essential role in Parisian social life, well-known throughout the world. In recent years, they have benefited from a real comeback, in all kinds of entertaining ways.
Local residents and passing visitors get together to have a drink, of course, but also to play board games, listen to music, have a sing-song, have their tarot cards read, or to enjoy philosophical or political discussions... Good times to be shared!
Games
This time, we’re trying out the “food and games” formula on the first Sunday of each month: a menu at 13€ and an afternoon of games from 12 midday to 6pm in Montmartre. For those grey and wet afternoons or for aficionados!
