Please tell me if this should go on another page. I found this site through the Secrets of Paris site, and am indicating the credit here:

I have nothing of the fashionista, but I love beautiful fabrics and clothing.
Quoting blog autor Heather Stimmler-Hall:
But if you want to check out a fun alternative, head over to L’Archipel a charitable association housed in an amazing 19th-century convent near Gare St-Lazare. Although dedicated to assisting single mothers, they also host many events for the general public to raise funds and awareness in the spirit of solidarity, including yoga classes, knitting workshops, concerts, Sunday brunch in the former nave, and a Saturday "troc" to swap clothing (men’s, women’s or kids), accessories, books, CDs, DVDs, etc. (you get a credit for the Troc Shop for every item you bring).
I love the little nave in the photo, and a Sunday brunch there might be pleasant...
www.larchipel.paris/agenda/ We see people DANCING in the nave as well!
I have no idea whether it is great down-to-earth fun, or a little too earnest. But interesting.
