Le Comptoir Général: an Eclectic “Ghetto Art” House

Situated next to the Canal St. Martin, Le Comptoir Général is quite an eclectic restaurant/bar/vintage art house where you can lounge for hours on couches and sit on school chairs, sipping on a cocktail, fresh juices or coffee. A low lit and vintage ambiance, chandeliers, red velvet carpets, dusty pictures of african and french presidents hanging on the walls, school chalkboards, the space is absolutely astonishing!

Le Comptoir Général, qui se trouve juste à coté du Canal St Martin, est un resto/bar/maison des curiosités ou vous pouvez passer des heures avachis dans des fauteuils ou assis sur des chaises d’école, tout en sirotant un cocktail, jus de fruits ou encore un café. Ambiance vintage tamisée, chandeliers, tapis de velours rouges, photos de présidents africains et français poussiéreuses accrochées aux murs, tableaux d’école en ardoise; l’endroit est dément!
