Home to some of the first “Restaurants” in the city, this neighbourhood evolved from one of the last “wild” areas of Paris where aristocrats liked to hunt rabbits to a paradise of culinary craftsmanship. Away from the beaten paths, between tradition and modernity, this journey will highlight the excellence and passion our culinary artisans showcase in their creations.
