Lovers of cycling or walking, and good coffee? The Peloton, if it is not already there, will quickly become your rallying point.
Ideally located between the quays of the Seine, near Saint Louis Island and the Saint Gervais Saint Protais church, this café with a Parisian bistro atmosphere promises you a “shot” of caffeine roasted by Cafés Belleville, from latte and other delicious vitamin drinks to enjoy before or after your trip.

At the head of the Peloton, Christian and Paul, two cycling enthusiasts who have only one motto: “build community”. Because after organizing bike tours for ten years, they realized how life in Paris really is “better together”. Motto, more relevant than ever!

Since its opening, the coffee shop has welcomed every day “groups of cyclists returning from a morning run, parents who meet after school for a coffee or a chai latte, travelers sharing their adventures over a waffle still hot and a craft beer, and of course the neighborhood regulars, fans of their cookies and hot chocolate from the start.
It is to maintain this link and unite their Maraisian and international community that the two acolytes have developed a line of t-shirts and mugs to discover on the Peloton website. For those who are lucky enough to be there, they are waiting for you for a take-out order and if you have time, to chat!

UNE LITTLE HUNGRY ?
Piccola Mia, the pizzas of the Republic
On the Place de la République, a brasserie with Italian accents has just opened, which quickly made people forget the old Pizza Pino. Welcome to Piccola Mia, the fruit of the joyful encounter between Italian chef Denny Imbroisi, pizza chef Julien Serri and mixologist Matthias Giroud who creates a creative cocktail menu.
Bel Canto, an evening of singing
Pushing the door of Bel Canto is like entering the opera. On the upper quay of the Seine, facing Ile Saint-Louis, Bel Canto is not an ordinary restaurant. Here, we dine but above all, we come to listen to the great classics of lyrical art, performed by... the room staff!
At the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation, a haute couture restaurant
Secret, or discreet, addresses are sometimes the best. This is the case of the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation café-restaurant, in the Marais, very close to the BHV. You enter through a carriage entrance which opens onto a paved courtyard. Without paying attention, we have just entered the kingdom of the brilliant fashion designer who died in 2017 at the age of 82.
NOW ON
THE MOOD MARSH
The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
Juliette Drouet actress, muse and mistress of Victor Hugo
At 14 rue Sainte-Anastase, from 1836 to 45 and at 12 from 1845 to 48, a few hundred meters from Place des Vosges, lived the muse and lover of Victor Hugo, Juliette Drouet née Julienne Gauvain.
