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.
A trendy bar and coffeeshop where you can sit side-by-side with locals and artsy types (not that they are mutually exclusive!), Pause Café is perfect for a drink, coffee, or brunch on the weekends with friends. Not only is the space light and spacious, they also have an outdoor terrace.
