Le Papillon, Café in the 20th arrondissement, Paris, France
Le Papillon is a café on a street in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. It has large windows, wooden tables, and simple decor that lets in plenty of daylight.
The building that houses the café was originally a small shop before it became a place to drink coffee. Over time it was renovated but kept its simple character.
Le Papillon hosts occasional book clubs and small music nights, sometimes with live jazz. These evenings draw regulars and visitors who want a taste of local Parisian neighborhood life.
The café opens early in the morning and closes late at night, so it can be visited at many different times of day. Nearby metro stations make it easy to reach, and public transport is a better choice than arriving by car.
The café sits close to the Flèche d'Or, a well-known music venue in the neighborhood, so many people stop by after a show there. This means the evening crowd can be a mix of very different people passing through the same part of the 20th.
