(Last Update: 03.06.2025) I would like to introduce you to a beautiful cafe in Paris that attracts attention with its location and especially its name: Café Fluctuat Nec MergiturWe are in… One of the most beautiful squares in Paris. Republic SquareLocated in , this cafe takes its name from a famous Latin saying: “Fluctuat Nec Mergitur”u In its simplest form in Turkish”it shakes but does not sinkI think we can translate it as ". I don't know if you have ever noticed that there is a ship figure in the coat of arms, which is the symbol of Paris, and this saying is written under that figure.
He emphasizes that Paris can face all kinds of troubles but can overcome them all. Last Bataclan Attack on November 13, 2015 This saying came to the fore in the difficult days afterwards, and from that day on, it entered the daily language again and became a motto used to hold on to life after all kinds of troubles.

And then Paris Municipality, République Squarein March 15, 2016He opened this cafe in . I've passed by this cafe, which is said to have been built sensitively to ecological issues, a lot, but I think this is my first visit. April 2017is. Afterwards, whenever I came across those places, I would go and sit there from time to time. As you know, there are so many places to eat and drink in Paris that it is not easy to go to the same place :)
Briefly Café Fluctuat This beautiful place, referred to as 'City', is in an easily accessible place. M3, M5, M8, M9 or M11 metro It is very easy to go by lines. Since it is in the western corner of the square, it has an extremely spacious atmosphere. Sitting outside in nice weather is already enjoyable, but the inside also has its own decoration. Of course, the greatest pleasure comes in nice weather. Providing reflection on the water right next to it mirror pool, harmonizes beautifully with the statue in the square.

When this place first opened, it had a more northern, more vegan atmosphere, but today It has a pizza concept menu. Therefore, you can find many things suitable for the Italian palate here. Although I haven't eaten anything yet, I mostly sat down to drink coffee, but I'm sure it tastes good. It's just pizza, pizza is always good :)
Again, when they first opened, they had a very nice website and you could see the menu, but when the cafe changed its concept, the official website was closed. Now Republic While wandering around, you will see this place in the corner of the square, take a look and sit down if you feel comfortable 😉

I would like to have a coffee here when I go. A beautiful square
It is a pleasant square. I hope you remember this article when you go there...
It's great that you have renewed your site. I was surprised when I looked at what was new. Very useful. I have never been to this cafe, I will go if I have the chance. Best regards
Thank you very much Ms. Pınar, believe me, it makes me very happy to receive such nice comments in return for my efforts.
I like this cafe very much, but as I mentioned in the article, it may not be a place worth going to, but it might be nice to have a coffee here one day while wandering around Republique.
Greetings loves…
When you go to the Information Office at the airport, if you are just going to buy a map, you may not need to wait in line, you can get your map directly. What is urgent is a metro map and you don't need it for now, you can print it off the internet, then you can get a detailed map from the counter at any metro entrance in the city.
You will buy your OrlyBus ticket from the box office at the OrlyBus stop, not from Information. There may even be a map there, if you have a problem.
Bus number 42 is nice 🙂
There are not many bakeries in Paris, I don't think you need to do special research, but if you wish, you can search for bakeries near your hotel on Google Maps.
Happy Days.
Hello,
I received your e-mail, but I had to turn on the computer to reply and I don't have much time to turn on the computer on weekends. Well, now that it's Monday morning, I can get back to work and write a reply :)
Yes, you will do the Orly-Paris center departure and return exactly as you say.
You can buy the 10 carnet from the machines near the turnstiles when you arrive at Denfert-Rochereau.
As for transfer:
As long as you do not leave the metro, you can get on and off wherever you want within 90-1 zones for 2 minutes. The ticket in your hand expires the moment you exit the turnstile (this was not the case in the past), you should pay attention to this.
When you look at the metro map, the lightest colored area in the middle is the 1st zone, then the 2nd zone begins, this way you understand which zone you are in. Everywhere in the center of Paris is zone 1, so it will not be difficult to find out which zone you are in.
Have a nice holiday in advance.
