Magic and bizarre
Le Comptoir Général is a temple dedicated to exoticism. As a curious adventurer and a voyage lover, it invites you to explore and appreciate these foreign and strange cultures, poorly known, sometimes underrated and often marginalized. Because exoticism does not only define itself through frontiers and territories, it is also rooted in history, traditions, communities, and exclusions...
Thus, Le Comptoir Général explores these faraway lands, looking for the most powerful references and the best talents they might hide away. Once identified, it brings them back to life from the details of their
decoration, to their slightest codes and moods.
For some of these talents, the adventure goes beyond this: what better way to fight against exclusion and difference is there than offering the society as useful as desirable goods?
Accompanied by Le Comptoir Général, these exotics talents can learn to manage, preserve and promote durably their patrimony, transforming it in a new source of revenues and knowledge.
It includes a vintage shop on the top floor and two different rooms: the atmosphere it's just magic! On Friday and Saturday night is often full of people but it's just the occasion to socialise cause mostly they're cool and chilled. The only problem, when it's late the terrace closes and the smoking room becomes impossible but if you leave the bar you can enjoy the river bank just in front of the entrance.
