After walking from rue du rivoli all the way up to rue de bretagne we would have been ready for a drink and a little snack - and right here in the corner of rue du temple and rue de bretagne we found a nice bistro packed with people sitting outside chatting.
Posters on the windows told us that they hold philosophic talks and music evenings here to. Unfortunately we did not have the time, but I will next time I'll pass here. If you pass here and are not in a hurry please test it and let me know.
