Located on a pleasant pedestrian street just off the place Jourdan, this cultural center hosts a number of interesting festivals, concerts and debates. Among other things, I’ve seen a friend act in a play, danced to a Cheikh Lô concert and cried to Jaffa, a film projected during a Jewish film festival. Named after the Senegalese poet and politician, the Espace Senghor, despite its rather drab exterior, has a beautiful room dating from the early 20th century, with moldings on the ceilings, stained glass and a sweet mezzanine running along the side of the room.

There aren’t always things on, so you should take a look at their online program if you’re in town, as the events are varied, the space is quite intimate and the prices generally reasonable. Plus, you can also enjoy a packet of frites (check the Maison Antoine article) or an excellent slice of pizza (check the Mamma Roma article) afterwards.
