Lodging & Online rental platforms
Since 2011, Paris has lost more than 10,000 residents each year, affecting communities in entire neighborhoods. Priced out by ever-rising housing costs, many Parisians are also the victims of landlords chosing to favor short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb over long-term leases.
Please, do our communities a favor and refrain from using these platforms when booking your accommodation in Paris.

With scores of music venue and an artistically-minded population, Eastern Paris has something to suit all tastes when it comes to record stores.
Crate-diggers are strongly advised to venture east of Bastille, especially around the vibrant Rue de Charonne. The 11th arrondissement is a historic stronghold for Parisian record shops, boasting a versatile range of independent stores specializing in specific genres: electronic music (Synchrophone Records, Techno Import), reggae (Patate Records), rock, indie and punk (Born Bad, Music Fear Satan, Le Silence de la Rue, Souffle Continu), etc.
Further north, the Canal Saint-Martin area has seen new openings in recent years, with records stores such as Music Please and Penny Lane Records joining the colorful restaurants and bars of the Sainte-Marthe neighborhood. Crossing the canal towards Gare du Nord, record enthusiasts can discover the modern concepts of more recent additions like Walrus and Rupture.
Finally, we can only recommend checking local flea markets or brocantes, where vinyls are a common occurence. They are regularly held on public spaces such as Boulevard Richard-Lenoir or Boulevard de la Villette. Lovers of classical music and chanson française are certain to find records to their liking, and prices tend to be much lower than anywhere else. Old school jazz and rock hits are easy to come by on the market stalls, and who knows – with luck and some digging skills, you could even discover some unlikely gems!
