A mecca for indie lovers
Ground Zero – Le Calif de Belleville
Why locals love it
It's popular amongst indie fans, but variety and quantity are what make people keep coming back. With funk classics from Africa, reggae legends, fresh blues, 90s hip hop and more, there’s something to suit every taste. Still, indie has the limelight here. The wooden apartment-like atmosphere adds another layer of mystery to the music.
Why you should visit it
The selection of vinyls and CDs on offer are equally massive. Even if you don’t have a turntable at home, you can can still enjoy the music. With its small art galleries and restaurants, rue Sainte-Marthe is already worth the visit. Paris can feel like a sleepy small town depending on where you are – you can experience that feeling right here.
