What we have been up to in Paris - and our map of cool Parisian places off the beaten track

-


Living in Paris for the last months has been living a vast, moveable feast.

Spending that much time in one place, you could expect you came to know this place intimately, but we have almost every day walked completely fantastic streets, alleys, squares, and parks which we had never visited before (or even heard of!). 

This city - and its possibilities - seems to be endless.

While wandering its streets, we found so many hidden, quirky spots, which you rarely read about in guide books, we decided to place our findings on a map. 

In this way, our friends, who come to visit Paris, can see suggestions for surprising experiences off the beaten track.

Putting them out here will eventually make them not so secret anymore - mais c'est la vie!

-----------------------------

If you want to use our map, install the apps Google map and Mapstr on your phone (both Android and IOS)

Create an account for Mapstr (it is free), and allow the app to access your location.  

Now, press the icon in the upper right corner of the Mapstr map: 

Press button 'Explore', search for user  '@breum' (that's us!) and press button 'Follow'

You are now all set

When you're walking around,  open the app - and at the lower right corner of the Mapstr screen, you find this arrow icon:

Press it, and you see your own location on the map as a blue dot and some pins representing the interesting places, we have found in your vicinity (the crimson and green pins are the ones we recommend the most)


When you press each pin, you can see a photo and some info about the place, and - who knows -  you might find it worth a small detour 

If you do, press the button Go and then you're transfered to the app google maps, which tells you precisely how you reach this specific point


Enjoy! It has been so much fun to collect all these places - and when you eventually get around to make your own map  of  your own findings (it's very easy), we do hope, you'll share it with us!

Night under the full moon: A unique Parisian gathering

-
Image
  The other night I was invited to a so-called Full Moon Party in the center of Paris. The host was a guy Rita and I met, when we, a couple of years ago, stayed on his houseboat a bit up the Seine. He arranges these casual parties at the middle of the Pont des Arts and he has done so, come rain or come moonshine, every month for the last many years. As I approached the iconic bridge, now mercifully devoid of its plague of "love locks," I was greeted by a cacophony of excited chatter in a United Nations potpourri of accents.  French people as well as expats from many corners of the globe mingled freely, their laughter and chatter forming a symphony of human connection that was actually quite infectious. As I accepted a glass of wine from a beaming Spanish astrophysics student, I pondered the curious phenomenon before me.  Here we were, a motley crew of strangers, united by nothing more than our shared presence in this city and our willingness to gaze skyward toge...

Stumbling into serenity: The secret garden of Saint-Serge

-

The other day I walked the streets of the edgy, regenerated Villette area of Paris, and here, on one of its busy streets, I stumbled upon what seemed like a portal opening into another time. Entering through an unassuming gate, and going down a narrow,  semi-private alley, I was transported from the frenetic present into a hidden,  quiet garden that turned out to be the garden of the  Saint-Serge de Radonège Russian Orthodox Church.    Photo: SortirAParis Before me unfolded a scene that could have been plucked from a 19th-century Russian novel: Long-bearded orthodox priests wearing flowing black robes and cylindrical kamilávka hats, moved unhurriedly among the flowerbeds, and a group of elderly parishioners sat in the garden, on rickety chairs, chatting in a melodic blend of Russian and  French. The abrupt transition from bustling street to  tranquil sanctuary was so jarring that I half-expected to find my smartphone transfor...

Entering the Boros bunker - A mind-altering artistic journey

-
Image
Walking into the massive Boros bunker in Berlin's Mitte is like walking into an ancient, alien tomb. This forbidding concrete monolith, built by the Nazis in 1942,  is now the home of an eccentric private art collection.  Inside the building's almost anthill-like network of  underground corridors and crypts, numerous swirling shapes and colors spark the walls into lurid illuminations.   A flood of phantasmagoric images washes over the senses - kinetic sculptures twisting with reptilian menace, multimedia installations flickering with layered meanings. Each new room opens like a portal into a new creative artistic mind - and the story about the building is as exciting as the art which is  displayed inside it. During the war, the bunker sheltered several thousand  civilians from the massive, nightly bombings that hit Berlin. In 1945 the Red Army repurposed the building for prisoners of war and it later became an East German warehouse. After the wall tumble...
