It’s been about 1000 days since the doors of HABILE at 16 rue de Lancry opened. On June 8, 2021, we took the plunge. After 6 months of epic renovations, we proudly unveiled our unique space to the public. Let’s be honest, the first few months were filled with apprehension. For many, a restaurant combined with a clothing store was something unusual! However, our place, a UFO in the French landscape, turned out to be an innovative space, and many industry professionals came to meet us. We took the time to share our story, over and over again!

Learning every day, but always with the constant determination to create a lively place where people feel good and keep coming back. The mix of regulars with an international clientele reassures us daily about the validity of this entrepreneurial project.

So, if we take stock of these 3 years, despite the difficulties and occasional doubts, we don’t regret a single day of this wild adventure. HABILE is something totally out of the box that continues to excite us, and we are thrilled to share it with everyone who discovers us.

To infinity and beyond, as always, let’s go!
