Located in the eastern suburbs of Paris is the commune of Bagnolet. Originally inhabited by tapestry makers, then later becoming a popular place for artisans, the Bagnolet we see today is mixture of live music, film screenings and poetry nights.
Although Bagnolet is relatively small, there's many things to do. Take advantage of its traditional French markets and the charming little restaurants. If you want to travel further afield then head out for a Paris day trip; hire a car in Bagnolet and make the twenty minute car journey to the heart of Paris.
Thespians are well catered for in Paris, and the area surrounding Rue Francois Mitterrand is no different. The Theatre Aleph brings world theatre into the centre of Paris. Built in 1967, inspiration has come from all corners of the globe, from Che Guevara to The Beatles.
Hiring a car in Bagnolet also allows you to explore some of Paris' more historic sights. Sacré-Coeur Cathedral is perhaps one of the most spectacular buildings in Paris. The building is sat atop of Montmartre, which has supposedly been a place of worship since the druids of Ancient Gaul occupied the city.
