As Can Be Seen,

from these photographs,

the Fermette Marbeuf, which opened in back in 1898,

 was a magnificent place to dine, especially in the atrium, until it disappeared, and remained unseen for nearly 80 years, the atrium had been walled-in since world war two when it had to be hidden from Nazis,

but it is now back in use and can be seen it its former glory, photography is by Francis Amiand,

the restaurant is now the Beefbar Paris, the refurbishment of the ornate wall panels of the previously hidden 19th-century atrium of this steak restaurant, were completed by design duo Humbert & Poyet, who described it as a “game between sobriety and eccentricity”,
