In 1825, Brillat-Savarin, father of modern gastronomy, wrote his famous “Physiologie du goût” Rue de Grenelle. 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.
