Its festive atmosphere and panoramic river views make it a popular spot for drinks on the terrace and for long evenings out.
A hybrid and cultural space
La Marquise offers a variety of atmospheres throughout the day: a friendly bar in the afternoon, an eclectic music venue in the evening, and then a vibrant club until the early hours.
