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.
An entire shop dedicated to stamps! Le Tampographe Sardon is a one-of-a-kind guy - creative, funny, raw, and totally rough around the edges, just like his stamps. On his website, he self-describes: «I make stamps, I sell them, and with the money, I buy drinks.» He's just the right amount of inappropriate and satirical; his stamps are unexpectedly poetic.
