The Gare de Lyon is the traditional starting point for Parisians looking to journey to Italy by train but, across the Seine, another piece of railway heritage now serves as an outpost of Italian tastes in the French capital. La Felicità is a venue for food, drinks and music within a former rail depot in the once-overlooked 13th arrondissement, southeast of the Latin Quarter. Train carriages painted with street art are a backdrop for dining on Tuscan barbecued porchetta or Neapolitan pizzas dappled with fior di latte mozzarella. Between the three bars on site, you can clink negronis, or try an original cocktail, and there’s also a South Tyrolean-style Biergarten. Is this really Paris, or is it Parigi?
