Paris is one of those cities where there’s always a new opening, and this holds true for its art venues too.

What was once Gare de Montrouge in the 14th arrondissement is now resurrected as Poinçon. The abandoned railway station has taken on a new life, hosting rotating concerts and exhibitions while boasting a permanent café, restaurant, and bar.

The works will be on sale at accessible prices in order to promote the maxim ‘art for all’.  La Fab. by agnès b. – Rebecca Fanuele / La Fab. agnès b.
