In 2002, established musician Brice–guitarist and drummer in a number of bands, including Elevate Newton’s Theory & Rodeo Massacre–created April 77, a brand for rockers like him. With punk rock inspirations and some collaborations–most recently this October with Mondkopf–his skinny jeans are worn by hipster cuties from New York to Sydndey.

He tells us where to eat vegan burgers, buy records, and play soccer whiledrinking beer.

Brice Partouche

Stolly’s:

Americans would call it a dive bar… A little irish pub/sportbar where people come from all over, especially English speakers. The music is 100% inde/punk/classic rock. There we run into locals, hipsters, rockers, alcoholics, artists, people working in fashion. A few months ago I took Karen’O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs there. I think she kept a good memory of it because that night we played soccer in the bar…

Loving Hut:

So yes, the shadow of a sect (Supreme Master, the 2 TV screens are here to remind us of it) hovers over this restaurant of le Boulevard Beaumarchais, but whatever… After all, a sect promoting animal freedom and that cooks the best vegan burgers in Paris–I’ll take it.

The Vegan Burger

Le Souffle Continu

One of the last rare indie record shops of Paris, but it’s also the record shop with the most obscure and edgiest selection. In addition to finding the complete work of the label Southern Lord, reissues of Dischord, and do it yourself tapes, you’ll also find occult books.

Rock N’Roll Voltage

Another indie recordshop, but this one is more fun because of the brothers (I’ve never figured out if they were twins or not…) who are in charge of this shop of heavy metal/ hard rock / hard FM/trash/speed/black metal vinyls.
They are real nerds, and they know everything about everything and have tons of stories about their youth when they were roadies for Poison and Motley Crue.

The Old Egypt section of le Louvre

All is in the title…
Better than the Catacombs and certainly less redundant, the Egyptology part of le Louvre has fascinated me since I was a child.
I think it’s important today, in the context of the uprising of the Egyptian population and destruction of the local patrimony, that the museums protect this culture, the ancestor of our civilisation.
Even if we can criticize the sometimes uncertain origin of the museum pieces, today they are safe and will be witnesses for the future generation.
