Saska Kępa, a lovely pre-war neighborhood in Praga, is celebrating everything French this weekend on the occasion of Bastille Day. All along ul.Francuska (French street) vendors and stalls will help you discover French food, wine and music. Once you’re done, head for one of the many cafes along Francuska for a well-deserved break. Our favorite bar (Cafe Towarzyska) is a little farther away at ul.
