A queer and feminist bar in the 11th arrondissement

At 40 Rue de Montreuil, 100 metres from the Faidherbe-Chaligny metro station, Bonjour Madame is an intersectional queer and feminist cultural bar, run by a trio – Karen Mounier, Hélène Jenny and Esther Poryles – according to Time Out. With an LGBTQIA+ flag, activist posters and a blackboard listing themed cocktails, the décor sets the tone. According to published reviews, the whole community is represented here, and allies are very welcome.

A quiet afternoon, a night that fills up

From Wednesday to Saturday, the bar opens at 2 pm. According to feedback received, it’s a good spot for reading or working remotely between 2 pm and 4 pm, in peace and quiet. The venue starts to fill up around 5pm or 6pm, and Time Out describes it as packed on Friday evenings.
