Onra takes us on a Personal Tour of Paris

Onra is a producer you can trust. His sample slicing is superb, his beats are perfect. If you want sample-based hip hop, soul styles, premium modern funk or club destroying anthems, Onra's got your back. He knows his way around the studio, but he also knows his way through the arrondissements and avenues of Paris. Here's a personal selection of guaranteed tips from the man himself for your next stay in the City Of Light.

Weekend Flea Market ("Brocante")

You could go to les Puces de Clignancourt and admire vintage furniture, dig for records and buy a pair of sneakers, but I recommend the Sunday flea markets. They're great to take a "people bath". All cultures, origins, social classes meet there because that's really where you can find good stuff for cheap. It would give you a better opinion on who really are the "Parisians", and show that we're definitely not all that snobby.

Le Bambou

My favourite Vietnamese restaurant, I shouldn't promote them like this because the service is very unfriendly, but this is authentic Vietnamese food.

Eclair De Genie

I love the concept of that place, you can get the most original and delicious éclairs. It's a bit pricey but worth the treat. It is not too far from that Colette shop everybody knows about, it makes a nice combo.

Wanderlust

Only open in the warm season I believe, April through September. They have a huge terrace where you can have drinks by the Seine river, listen to some of the best DJ's in town and also have delicious pizza.

Palais de Tokyo

For the dopest expositions, concerts, parties. It's kind of far away from where I usually hang out, but I love this spot.
