Begin your tour of the formal 16th arrondissement at the city’s avant-garde center of contemporary art, the Palais de Tokyo. Originally built for the 1937 World's Fair, it served various cultural purposes over the years before reopening in 2002 as the Site of Contemporary Creation. Don’t be surprised if you walk into what looks like an industrial artists’ squat under construction. That’s what it’s supposed to look like (the French call it brut).
Even if you don’t visit the temporary exhibitions, have a walk around the building. A caged-in shop with art books and magazines, and the boutique Black Block sells the works of the famous Parisian graffiti artist Gilles Dufour, creator of Monsieur André. There’s also a restaurant open until 2am, a bar, and a self-serve café downstairs.
