Where to eat: Au Petit Chardon

Le Petit Chardon, the little sister of Chardon by Alexis Auzépy, has settled into the former Petit Château d’Eau, right next to its big sister, between République and Château d’Eau, in the heart of the Theater District. In an art deco setting blending simplicity and modernity, the bistro invites a casual gourmet break. Here, homemade cuisine highlights fresh and local products (some directly sourced from the house garden) with a concise menu promising comforting dishes every visit. And to pair with it all, a cellar that delights natural wine lovers. From red to sparkling, and even orange wines, every bottle tells a story. True to the formula that made its elder a success, Le Petit Chardon is a resolutely modern bistro, where eating and drinking feel right at home, Monday through Sunday.

Where to Party: The "South In Paris" Experience by Argenteurs Collective

For one day, Point Éphémère will be the meeting point for artists from southern France, blending photo and music to capture an idea of authenticity cherished by Argenteurs. This film photography collective, founded in Toulouse, was born from the shared passion of three childhood friends: Dimitri Mazin, Pierre Ménard, and Jules Bailly. Now rooted in the capital, they no longer just capture images—they create connections. On Saturday, November 9, they bring their southern vision to life: imperfect grain, film worn by time, and warm hues. By day, exhibited shots evoke fleeting, textured moments far from digital perfection; by night, voices from emerging Southern musical figures take over: Deelee S, Le Double, Moyà, the Recklessboise, Michael Wet, and more. Be they rappers, DJs, or singers, they bring their unique touch, color, and above all, a philosophy of life centered on sharing over performance.
