There are two parks in the neighborhood. Just around the corner from Jules Joffrin is the beautiful Square de Clingnancourt, a garden with children's playground and bandstand, surrounded by listed residential buildings and tall trees. On Rue des Cloÿs, just off Rue de Ruisseau, is the Square Serpollet, a larger, modern garden with a huge Eiffel-Tower shaped climbing structure, mini football pitch, fountains, intricate gardens and a sandpit for younger kids.
Dining & Nightlife Call if you stop by in August to make sure they're open!
The Brasseire Nord-Sud (open daily non-stop, 79 rue Mont Cenis, 01 46 06 02 87), is the locals' preferred perch for watching over the busy intersection at Place Jules Joffrin. On the other end of the market street is La Sauterelie (57 rue Montcalm, 01 42 23 39 88) an intimate restaurant open only at night, serving a creative mix of French and world cuisine in a low lit, "antique" décor. Perched alongside the steep stairways Montmartre is known for, just outside the Metro Lamarck, is the trendy restaurant Ginette de la Côte d'Azur (101 rue Caulaincourt, 01 46 06 01 49) and the more laid back bar and café Le Refuge (72 rue Lamarck, 01 42 55 27 58), both with little terraces during warmer weather. Night owls gravitate towards the lively country-style bar and restaurant Village Michel (100 rue Ordener), or Hogan's Irish Pub (corner of Rue Francoeur and Rue de Clignancourt) for a proper pint of Guinness. For a bit of culture, the Sudden Theatre (14 bis rue St-Isaure, 01 42 62 35 00) often has guest English-language productions from the UK and Ireland as part of their seasonal program (check out the new schedule in September).
