Three very different but funny things
- One of the biggest "green wall" in France (heard it was in Europe too) is secretly located in the open offices of the railway station at "Gare du Nord", you can reach exactly following the red arrow, it's a bit tricky, but you're not yet in their offices, the building is awesome, and the wall... huge ! Combo : go and book a visit of the Operation Center of the railway company (SNCF), 1h and really worth. ID and advance booking required.
- Comptoir Général : it's not so secret but it's unique in Paris, as if Berlin and a true boheme spirit at last came and survived in posh and not so friendly Paris... relaxing, and easy to spot on the "Canal" between République and Jaurès metro station (on "Quai de Jemappes").

- La Miroiterie, one of the last "squatt" or free place in Paris, with street art, strange gals and guys and GREAT music all over the place. Usually a gig per day, you really feel somewhere between New Orleans, Berlin and underground London depending on the music ! Really friendly, cheap beer, nice place, on Ménilmontant metro. It's no secret but could be memory soon, so rush...
