Some armchairs have been installed on the place so people can stop to discuss and have a drink. Now the esplanade is back to the way it used to be, very popular, friendly and festive.

The monument for the Republic, in the center of the place - which is the point where many civic events take place – was also renovated. The place is also great to meet with friends in bars, theaters, concerts, etc.

Nearby: le Marais, Pere Lachaise cemetery, Canal Saint Martin...
