Ménilmontant: a 3,000 m² venue dedicated to music, parties and food opens in the 20th arrondissement

The Ménilmontant district is about to welcome a major new cultural venue. Formerly abandoned offices will be transformed into a space dedicated to music, art and gastronomy. This urban renaissance promises to revitalize an entire sector of eastern Paris.

PRINT: an ambitious 3,000 m² project in Ménilmontant

The March 11, 2026a new chapter opened for this corner of the 20th arrondissement. PRINT takes over former Orange premises that had been empty for several years. This hybrid space offers a modern vision of Parisian culture.

The space covers 3,000 m² spread over several levels. As a result, visitors can spend hours here without getting bored. Each floor offers a different experience, designed to stimulate all the senses.

The founding team chose this neighborhood for its history and creative energy. What’s more, the area’s social mix matches the spirit of the project. PRINT aims to be a place open to all, far from the usual elitist codes.

“We want to create a space where music, art and food dialogue without barriers.”

A sharp, committed artistic direction

Camille Denoix and Marine Billet are the venue’s artistic directors. Their background in the Paris cultural scene gives them invaluable expertise. Together, they devise a program that blends emerging artists with established figures.

The first exhibition is entitled “The Office”. It ironically questions our relationship with work through photography. This choice resonates perfectly with the history of the building, once dedicated to the professional world.

• 3,000 m² of multi-purpose cultural space
• Scheduled to open on March 11, 2026
• Varied musical and artistic programming
• Gourmet restaurant on site
• Ideal location in the 20th arrondissement

Gastronomy at the heart of the Ménilmontant experience

Chef Alexis Bijaoui takes over the culinary reins. His approach blends creativity and seasonal produce. He also plans performances where cuisine and art merge in front of the public.

The restaurant is not simply a complement to the venue. It is a central pillar of the PRINT concept. Visitors can come just to eat, or extend their visit after an exhibition.

This global vision of the cultural experience is already winning over the curious. Indeed, few Parisian venues offer such synergy. The Ménilmontant district has thus gained a major new asset.

The menu evolves with the seasons and events. As a result, each visit brings its own set of gustatory surprises. The chef plans menus directly linked to current exhibitions.

A building steeped in history reborn

These former Orange offices have long symbolized the decline of certain neighborhoods. Now, they embody the creative renaissance of eastern Paris. This transformation illustrates a strong trend: rehabilitate rather than demolish.

The interior architecture retains traces of the industrial past. However, the spaces have been redesigned to welcome the public in the best possible conditions. Generous volumes make it possible to exhibit large-scale works.

Ménilmontant confirms its status as a cultural district

The 20th arrondissement already boasts several well-known cultural venues. PRINT reinforces this positive dynamic. The local art scene now has a new rallying point.

Local residents are enthusiastic about the opening. This type of project contributes to the attractiveness of the area without brutally gentrifying it. On the other hand, it remains accessible to a varied public, according to the project’s promoters.

The site is well served by public transport, making access easy for everyone. Ménilmontant is easily reached by metro and bus from all over the capital. This connection contributes to the expected success of the site.

By spring 2026, Paris will be home to an ambitious new hybrid space. PRINT embodies a contemporary vision of culture, rooted in its territory. More than ever, the Ménilmontant district is a must-see destination for lovers of art, music and good food.
