Progressive Paris has many weapons to fight the far right, but the best? Spaces where you can simply hang out | Alexander Hurst Drop into any of the French capital’s ‘third places’ and you’ll find food, culture, community – and an antidote to the disaffection extremists feed on, says Guardian Europe columnist Alexander Hurst
