Dine in the home of a perfect stranger, enjoy your meal on an extraordinary, little-known terrace looking out on the Parc Monceau, eat lunch at a restaurant that's totally invisible from the street, have a drink at a bar next to a man taking a shower in a glass box, join a band of artistic squatters for an afternoon barbecue, and experience numerous other timeless venues and atmospheres.
