Halle Saint-Pierre

Snuggling under the Montmartre Hill, perched below the Sacre-Coeur and huddles of sightseers, is the Halle Saint-Pierre, a somewhat unknown gallery, library and cafe exhibiting outsider, different and off-trend art. The former covered market, built in 1868 by a student of Victor Baltard (who designed the infamous Les Halles), has been reformed. The Baltard design, steel framework, cyclical staircase and large gaping windows remain though are now, softened by the boldly-printed posters, the various books lining the shelves and the cluttered, magazine-covered table tops. It's well worth a visit.
