Cafe "Nomade" is based in an ex-tapissier. It's a perfect morning stop-off ofr a combo of filter coffee, pressed juice and a croissant or pain du chocolat.

"Gossima" is Paris' premier ping pong bar. In the evenings at weekends the bar becomes almost a ping pong disco. Personally I like Sunday afternoons.
