Flonflon: a scrumptious and festive village square by the Seine

Is Paris too big to look like a village? Strangely enough, the French capital is the city of every possibility. Proof of it with the opening of Flonflon, a festive and scrumptious terrace that looks like a convivial square. At the opposite of the Parisian cliché, always on a rush and pulling on a face, there, you will discover when one will take time to have a good time.

Set by the Seine on the Quai d’Austerlitz quay, this terrace is extended the holiday spirit and is the outcome of a collaboration between Off Paris Seine, La Démesure sur Seine, BonjourBonsoir and Geoffrey Gervais. And the least we can say is that for this surprise spot, they made their mark.

So, what should you expect from this village square by the water? First of all, this is a place living with music. All in all, 150 seats, in addition to high boys scattered around a piano-jukebox where Marital Paoli and Cyril Taieb invite us to sing out loud, playing our favorite songs for the aperitif. At nightfall, DJ sets make Parisians have fun on the square and concerts are also scheduled.
