We're off to rue Étienne Marcel in Paris's 2ᵉ arrondissement to discover Festival, a café-restaurant offering a gourmet, festive spot right in the heart of Paris's hustle and bustle. Replacing the former Café Etienne Marcel, this new venue unveils a colorful new decor, a large terrace and a brasserie menu, we tell you all about it.
If you've ever taken the Paris metro, and more specifically, line 4, chances are you've passed (or even got off) at the Etienne Marcel stop, on the border of the 1st and 2nd arrondissements. Yet few of us know the story of the man behind the name.
Every Sunday, Café Etienne Marcel organizes its kid-friendly brunch, featuring fresh, carefully prepared produce in a warm and welcoming setting. Enough to delight the most gourmet among us.
