If a record collection sits in your apartment, the best place you can go to update it is Balades Sonores. Split across two stores next door to one another, the selection of sounds here are supreme: all alternative in nature but varied in genres, from niche English punk music to indie Japanese rock. The prices are good, the vibe is cool and the owner’s cat chills on a chair in the back room – so prepare yourself for some cute company while browsing.
