Halle Saint-Pierre

This delightful bookshop and café is an ideal place to visit before catching the funicular to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, located just a short stroll from the top of Montmartre. The collection of distinctive art books is fascinating and definitely worth exploring. Although I didn’t try the café myself, it appears to be a lovely spot to unwind. Overall, it offers a charming atmosphere that’s well worth experiencing!

Very interesting and exotic museum in the busy area of Montmartre. Two floors with different exhibit, and a restaurant. Approximately 1 or 2 hours of visit.

I came here from Tiktok :) and since it's super close to the Basilica I decided I should visit to have a look at the bookstore. The decorations were nice but nothing too special. If you just want to check something off in Montmarte area or if you're looking for a good cafe, this might be the one. I saw many enjoying their food and drinks (and also work) here

Cute bookshop and cafe to visit before mounting to the Sacre-Coeur Basilica with funiculare (cause it’s just a bit ahead of the butte Montmartre). They offer a selection of niche art books, interesting to look. Also, they have a cafe that I haven’t tried but I think it’s better to check out the books and the atmosphere and then drinking coffee elsewhere. Anyways it’s a cool aesthetic place.

Beautiful exhibit space with food and drink options. The artist was there helping with the exhibit so it was fun meeting him as well. The door to the toilet and cost room is very tricky, but eventually I figured it out. For my family definitely a better visit than the sacre coeur.

I haven't visited their exhibition yet but it's a cozy space with an artful coffee shop and bookstore in a beautiful glass building. I will come back to try their cafe because I really like the atmosphere there.

Such an interesting and warm space! A good option where you can spend a calm day inside, just looking at the endless shelves of beautiful books. The cafe is a little overpriced, otherwise great place.

Very nice library and coffee place in an authentically parisian placd

This was worth the visit for some quirky and amazing folk art. There is an exhibit in a dark room that had so many fabulous pieces of art, that I thought we had seen the whole museum. But wait! Up some windy stairs is a sunlit room with about the same amount of art. Some things were creepy, some were a level of obsessive detail that required long minutes of marveling, and some were inspiring. 2 hours is a sufficient visit, and you will want to reserve time to peruse the bookstore and get a snack, lunch, or beverage at the café. The museum is in the garment district, and the art may inspire you to pick up some fabric to make a collage.

A stunning cyclorama with two feature exhibits, a bright and airy bookstore, and a crazy busy cafe for an accessible 9€. We popped in for the Jeunet/Caro exhibit, because when in Paris, you Amélie. The design of the exhibit space is in a wagon wheel, with fixtures from the duos filmography segmented by "pie piece." An intriguing blend of movie props, original script notes, stills and videography paint a brilliant behind-the-scenes for The City of Lost Children, Delicatessen, MicMacs, Alien: Resurrection and more. A floor up, sunlight floods a year-long showcase residency called Turbulence in the Balkans, featuring Eastern European works but unfortunately, no brass bands. Sad dance party loss. Anyhoodle, the space open, well-designed and easy to get through in an hour or so. If the exhibits catch your fancy, pop in for an afternoon delight.

I love the Halle Saint Pierre for its wonderful bookshop full of off-beat finds, its original art and chill café. It's also right in the middle of the bustling Marché Saint Pierre the wholesale fabric market just slightly off the tourist track but at the foot of Sacre Coeur and steps from Montmartre. Pop in for art, books, and a cup of tea and cake. It's the perfect spot at the foot of Sacre Coeur to wind down and then head out explore the 'quartier'. Right next door is one of my all time favorite shops as well @lamaisonduzerodechet that definitely needs to be checked out. I love everything in there. Enjoy! : @windmilldreams

I am writing the first english review of this place, so hopefully the locals won't be too mad that i am sharing the secret of this exceptional, yet understated, museum of outsider art. Though as a dual French and Canadian, I feel it is my duty to share such resources with my anglo-compatriots. Located a stone's throw from the Abbesses metro, in the part of Montmartre that is decidedly off the beaten path, and world's apart from the nearby tourist traps of Pigalle and Sacre-Coeur (worthy in their own right to some extent), this is a true gem to be explored over an afternoon. On my last trip to Paris, I stumbled upon an amazing and profound retrospective of "Art Brut," a priceless experience at a minimal price tag (8 euros without student reductions get you an entry). The museum is located in a beautiful old glass building that used to house a covered market and exhibits are on two levels, so vast. There is also a café, which is affordable and mellow, and an interesting bookstore filled with contemporary and outsider art books and resources. La Halle SP, also hosts shows, lectures and workshops including art therapy. A truly unique and quality space, I plan to visit each time I land in Paris.
