Chez Prune is one of the best places to spend an evening with friends along the Canal Saint Martin. Like an HQ for this Bohemian chic neighbourhood, this old café is a little grungy with high ceilings and soft lighting and always the same feel. Groups of friends sit along benches enjoying drinks and sharing platters of cheese and cold meats . If you're hoping for a table on the terrace you have to get there around 6.00 p.m.
