This summer 2026, the Palais de la Porte Dorée is set to become one of the capital’s most vibrant spots. On Friday May 22, the team from La Bellevilloise will unveil Les Lionnes, a temporary terrace that is as festive as it is elegant, perched at the foot of the iconic Art Deco monument in the 12th arrondissement.
Under the majestic gaze of the famous sculptures by Henri Navarre and in the shadow of Europe’s largest Art Deco bas-relief by Alfred Janniot, this new spot promises a true summer oasis in the heart of Paris. Inspired by the four lionesses guarding the Palais’s entrance since 1931, this terrace aims to blend culture and conviviality in an immersive, offbeat atmosphere.
With its chic guinguette vibe, its shaded spaces, its bohemian furniture and its summer lights, Les Lionnes has everything to charm Parisians seeking an escape without leaving the city. Here, people come just as much to drink a glass with friends as to enjoy a cultural program designed as a vast playground open to all.
Throughout the season, live concerts, DJ sets, outdoor screenings, pub quizzes, family workshops and festive events will punctuate the evenings. The venue will also host sessions designed in collaboration with local associations and cultural players in the neighborhood, reinforcing its popular and inclusive spirit. Bonus: some evenings will even give guests a chance to discover the Palais de la Porte Dorée on exceptional pop-up tours.
On the culinary front, Les Lionnes will lean into sharing and indulgence with pizzas, world-inspired street food, vegetarian options, ice creams, signature cocktails, and refreshing drinks to accompany long summer evenings into early autumn—open from Wednesday to Sunday, 5:00 PM to midnight, and from noon to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays!
