When the iconic monuments and the hordes of tourists start to tire you, there's Charonne, the "real" Paris to some, where people from many corners of the globe call home. Disparate cultures, incomes, and ages collide to bring you a Paris that is different from the postcards. Spanning from the 11th arrondissement to the 12th, Charonne is young and energetic. Local business owners are friendly, always available, and in a perpetually relaxed state of being. With its trendy, boho clientele, Charonne offers a truly eclectic and unique Parisian experience in the north-eastern part of the city.
All fine things that live in a shell and/or underwater eventually find their way to L'Ecailler du Bistrot - lobsters, oysters, mussels, and everything in between. Tuck in for a seafood meal that is just as rewarding as it is hard work. After the battle, wash your hands in lemon and hot water and kick back for a delicious dessert.
