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

We dropped in for some food and was not disappointed. The food was very fresh and tasted amazing. I had an egg sandwich, which was simple but very tasty. Our waitress was friendly and polite and overall a great visit.

A fantastic little photography museum with a rotating selection of exhibitions. I’ve been coming here for years, and their shows are consistently well-curated and thought provoking. The current Ishimoto exhibition is especially worth seeing. The bookstore is also impressive, with a well-stocked selection of photography books spanning various genres.

Nice small museum. The exhibition I saw was really well put together with high quality commentary. There is a nice bookshop and a “humanitarian” restaurant. While I would not recommend to eat there it’s nice for drink and they are friendly

Excellent non-profit private museum with a wonderful mission to discover and mentor future artists. Saw the excellent Yasushiro Ishimoto exhibit followed by a delicious lunch in the museum’s small and cozy restaurant.

A small gallery on two floors, featuring consistently well-curated photo and video shows with thought-provoking, stimulating content. Also, the gallery happens to be half-hidden in an alleyway that, in itself, is quite attractive and interesting if you love quirky city corners. It's totally worth visiting.

We had an excellent brunch at this cafe. The staff was very friendly, the location is pleasantly away from the busy roads with a view on a small, green playground and the food was good. My personal favorite was the granola but also the pancakes and the eggs were great. I recommend coming around the opening hours as the cafe does fill up quickly.

This is a fantastic place! We had brunch here on a Saturday afternoon. It’s tucked away off the main street. The decor is great. The staff are very friendly and the food is amazing. Really fresh and good quality ingredients. Can’t recommend it enough

Amazing food, but horrible wait. Would give 4 stars but for that. Scones were buttery, and crusty and warm. Amazing cappuccino. Waited over an hour though. Would love to go again if it were more quiet, but it seems unlikely due to the wait. Staff was efficient and polite though.
