Gilles Peterson's Paris – in pictures

La Bellevilloise Founded as a cooperative in 1877, La Bellevilloise played a key role in the cultural life of eastern Paris between 1910 and 1949. It is carrying on that tradition today as one of the city's must-visit nightclubs, with multiple bars, performance areas, a restaurant and an exhibition space on rue Boyer Photograph: Time Out / Rex Features

Chez Jeanette With its refurbished original features, carefully maintained rough edges and location in Saint-Denis – one of Paris's emerging bourgeois-bohemian (bo-bo) neighbourhoods – there is more than a hint of Shoreditch about this cafe.

Wanderlust Perched on the banks of the Seine, Paris's latest creative space looks set to become one of the capital's cultural hotspots. It boasts the largest terrace (1600 sq m) in the city, an open-air cinema, nightclub, bar, restaurant and exhibition space – and with a closing time of 6am the entertainment can last all night Photograph: Jakob + Macfarlane/N.

Galerie W Emerging local and international artists are showcased in Galerie W's 10,000 sq ft of exhibition space on rue Lepic. The gallery – founded in 1998 by Eric Landau – represents 20 artists whose work is always on display, but the walls and works change almost daily. It also hosts concerts, signings and children's workshops Photograph: Galerie W

La Fidélité This contemporary brasserie is brought to you by La Clique, the impossibly hip crew behind Le Baron nightclubs in Paris, New York and London. It's where the fashionista crowd go to enjoy delicious joue de bouef (beef cheek) and pastis mojitos. There's even an apartment to rent for a party Photograph: La Fidélité

Thanx God I'm A VIP This vintage couture showroom is a favourite of the Paris fashion pack and came to prominence in the mid-1990s after founder Sylvie Chateigner began throwing parties of the same name at venues around the city.
