Café Français
At the crossroads of the Marais and Bastille, the Café Français stands out as an emblematic house where the Parisian art of living unfolds with ease. Its vast spaces include a bar, lounge, terrace and winter garden, inviting you to settle in as you wish and when you want, facing the Bastille Opera and its 180° open view.
In fine weather, the sun-drenched terrace becomes a lively theater, while in the cooler seasons, the winter garden extends the fun in a warm atmosphere. In the kitchen, the great classics of French gastronomy are reinvented with delight: traditional dishes, carefully selected fresh products and a refined wine list.
Attentive service and a bright atmosphere complete this experience, making Café Français an address where elegance, conviviality and Parisian excitement meet.

INDIA MADHAVI
French architect, designer and scenographer, India Mahdavi imagines colorful projects with soft and playful shapes, in France or internationally.
Influenced by cinema, design and art, India Mahdavi creates polychrome worlds that exalt nomadic culture.
India Mahdavi and Thierry Costes met in 2001 in New York and talked at the Apt bar. (for “Apartment”) that India had imagined for the restaurateur Jonathan Morr.
Eight years later, Thierry contacted the architect designer again to offer him to work together on the GERMAIN project, then the PARADISIO project. Several collaborations followed, with establishments such as THOUMIEUX but also the CAFÉ FRANÇAIS: both talk about “simultaneous desires” and “evidence in the development of projects”.
