Le Sap’Heure: the Parisian bistro that became the setting for the Duanju series

Since 2023, the bistro Le Sap'Heure, located on Place Jacques Froment near Montmartre, has established itself as a must-visit location for the French-style Duanju format. Between filming, screenings, and neighborhood life, it combines conviviality, gastronomy, and audiovisual creation. This new mobile fiction format has found one of its Parisian anchors here.

From plate to fiction

In November 2023, Le Sap'Heure served as the setting for a scene from the series Next Door Adventure, directed by Jérémy Haeffele and broadcast on Stardust TV. In this scene, the hero, played by Guillaume Sanjorge, confides his wildest dreams to his neighbor, played by Lana Sfera, during a meeting full of humor and poetry in the intimate atmosphere of the bistro.

A fraternal comedy on a large counter

In 2024 and 2025, the bistro hosted the entire filming of La Minute des Frangins, a contemporary comedy in Duanju format produced by Sanjorge Production. Between complicity and brotherly bickering, the characters found a natural playground in this setting. The actors Sylvain Binetti, Guillaume SanJorge, Chloé Borivage, Claudia Notte, Claire Butard and Anaïs Petit played colorful roles there.

An international projection

On June 14, 2025, the Sap'Heure was transformed into a screening room during an evening organized by the Studio Phocéen association. In front of a local audience and guests connected from around the world, five Duanju fictions produced by Sanjorge Production were presented: Amber, Bro's Minute, Militia Men, King Gandolfi and Next Door Adventure. The screening ended with a session of dynamic exchanges between international professionals and French teams.

A literary and cultural breath

More than just a film set, Sap'Heure is also a space for creation and inspiration. It was here that part of Kamel Daoud 's book Houris was written, which won the Prix Goncourt, one of France's highest literary awards.

A restaurateur's passion

At the origin of this artistic and culinary dynamic is Benor Attouche, a passionate entrepreneur proud of his Kabyle roots and deeply in love with France. With his team, he offers simple and refined French cuisine during the week, before giving way to oriental flavors on the weekend. Thanks to his affordable prices and his sense of hospitality, he has transformed Le Sap'Heure into a true rallying point for locals as well as travelers and various personalities.

A Parisian anchor for Duanju

Through its filming and events, Sap'Heure illustrates Duanju's deep roots in Parisian life. Blending art, gastronomy, and fiction, this bar-restaurant proves that a convivial space can also become a stage where the future of digital creation is written.

Sap'Heure could well become for Duanju what Café des Deux Moulins is for Amélie, or what Central Perk is for the cult series Friends .
