La Fermette Marbeuf, Fine dining restaurant near Champs-Élysées, France
La Fermette Marbeuf is a restaurant in the 8th arrondissement of Paris featuring Art Nouveau design elements. The interior displays stained glass windows, frescoes, ceramics, mosaics, painted walls, chandeliers, and a magnificent glass roof arranged in harmonious fashion.
The establishment opened in 1898 during the Paris World's Fair. In 1978, workers discovered an elaborately decorated dining room that had remained hidden behind walls.
The name comes from a former farmstead that once occupied this site before the restaurant was built. Visitors can see how the rooms were designed with ornate ceramics and painted walls that reflect the craftsmanship and daily life of the Belle Epoque era.
The restaurant serves French cuisine and reservations are recommended for dinner, especially on weekends. The location is within walking distance of major attractions, and access to the interior is level, making it accessible for most visitors.
The dining room was covered with plasterboard for decades and guests had no access to the original Art Nouveau elements. The rediscovery in 1978 revealed a nearly intact room that had remained hidden since the 1920s.
