LE BAL

The Best Places To See Culture In Paris, According To A Local

Hidden behind Place de Clichy, this small-but-mighty space is dedicated to the image in all its forms – still or moving, political or poetic – and feels like the underground counterpart to larger institutions. It punches well above its weight with strong programming and is never swamped with people, letting you take your time with the work. After exploring, you can sip coffee in its sunny café, where the Sunday brunch is a must, or browse the bookstore, which reflects the fact that Le BAL is first and foremost a publishing house, making it a great place to uncover real treasures. - Zoé Terouinard
