Broc Déj at Comptoir Général
Ana Lee writing for VINGT Paris
Every Sunday from 11h to 17h, the Comptoir Général hosts a breakfast / brunch and brocante event in their ecclectic eco-friendly space.
For 6 euros you have an all you can eat Petit Déjeuner with large jars of home made jams, to scoop into to your heart's content. We had the pleasure of having a guitarist come to our table and croon Brassens while munching on our tartines.
The space is also family friendly and includes a play space for kids, and a cabinet of curiosités to lure the critters while you're skimming through the vintage clothing racks.

Sorry to say that in spite of the "bobo" atmosphere and the nice meals (fortunately there are some people who don't come only to eat !), I was very disappointed today.
Some good medieval musicians and singers (with backpipe) were not allowed to sing because they didn't book their performance on internet !... Meanwhile the awaited singer was not there !
Finally they sung but the organiser stopped them after 15 minutes !
This behaviour is typically french and incredible in such countries like Australia, USA even London.
That's a good reason to not come back to this place which pretends to be "open and alternative"... That's a joke !
