The Editor

Each time it's the same old story. We meet at the metro, we choose a line, halfway between our work and theirs, their evening and our apartment, their happy hour and our yoga class. And then there's silence, a blackout. We think, "we'll remember", we freeze, and finally hang up with a "I'll check and let you know". Yet every week, we spend hours soaking up the news, the good plans, scouring Le Bonbon, spotting the outings, the future must-sees. But there, go figure why, every time we randomly choose a metro station, the same problem pops its head out. "WHERE ARE WE GOING?" Provincial lemonade, French politician or metro station, the word "Gambetta" has become a big name. In the heart of the 20th arrondissement, the square forms a perfect hexagon, at the crossroads between Belleville, Ménilmontant, and Père Lachaise. A stone's throw from the cemetery, and nestled on the authentic Pyrénées street.The metro station watches over the neighborhood.

A terrace aperitif with friends at Les Ours

An essential brewery in the neighborhood and the headquarters of the girls from the movie "Gang de filles", the bar Les Ours serves pints and coffee. A great terrace, a relaxed atmosphere, and polite waiters transform this bar on Pyrénées street into a neighborhood hangout. Sandwiched between the hipsters and the coolest students in Gambetta, don't miss the chance to try a platter from Les Ours, a generous assortment of tapas. Will you buy the next round?

Aux Ours 236, rue des Pyrénées - 20th

A hidden romantic restaurant At the Back of the Garden

Tucked away in an interior courtyard, At the Back of the Garden is a haven of peace. This bistro-style restaurant is ultra-relaxed, and features a decor made of recycled accessories. The cuisine aims to make us feel at home, with dishes like lamb and flageolet beans or a Savoyard fondue for two, a fantastic Sunday brunch, and even sandwiches to-go for those in a hurry. The menu changes, the products are organic, and in the winter, the terrace is covered and heated. Whether you're inside or outside, you'll feel super cozy.

Good wine at the Counter

At the Counter, there is a wide selection of wines by the glass and a few draft beers. But we also go there for the crispy bread, friendly welcome, and nice little terrace. The extra touch: the provincial decor with tiled floors, exposed bricks, and a big wooden bar. The big plus: the menu is great, offering dishes with a touch of southern France, focused on seasonal vegetables.

Le Comptoir 30, rue Villiers de L'Isle Adam - 20th

A Trip to the Theatre de la Colline

The mission of the Theatre de la Colline: to bring theatre to the life of eastern Paris. And vice versa. And they succeed. A 12-meter-high facade, an immense hall, and a brilliant director who carefully selects the best theatrical programming in Paris. From classic plays like those by Ibsen to new talents, this theatre is a leading figure in the Parisian artistic scene.

The Best for Hunger

James Berthier makes dreams come true with his fruit pastes, chocolates, and crunchy almond treats. A rare gem, right in the heart of the bustling Gambetta street. He combines art and pastry-making to create extraordinary creations like "Osiris," an almond dacquoise with dark chocolate mousse and whole milk chocolate, topped with fresh raspberries. Simply divine.
