Be at the restaurant and feel at home at le Pavillon des Canaux

Parisians , if you’re looking for some place to forget this August dull weather , we only have one advice: le Pavillon des Canaux. This place is not only a kafetaria and a restaurant with an amazing decoration , but it’s also the place to meet! You can practise yoga , work in a co-working space dedicated to new technologies , or attend the shootings of Arte shows. A must-see , a must-go , a must-do: we absolutely LOVE it!

How does it work? It’s very simple , you can choose any room of the house to enjoy a cup of coffee , a glass of wine or a diner with your friends. Every room has its own decoration and is a small world in itself. Our guided tour:
