The French have a special relation with cheese. They are very demanding and want a cheese riped to perfection. Therefore most of the excellent shops have their own cellars. Marie-Anne Cantin has 7 of them and is one of a kind of perfectionist. But her obsession was worth while, she sells to a lot to well known restaurants all over Paris and also …to the President.
You can also assist to cheese degustations that change with the season.

After a passage with Alain Ducasse ” Aux Lyonnais”, the chef and sommelier wanted to fly on their own. They decided to start a small bistrot where the ingredients of the food are the most important. And so they created a bistrot de chef where the chef can be creative and make very tasty dishes. We had a wonderful lunch ( cod with young vegetables – veal liver with Xeres vinegar sauce and salad - strawberry soup ) with very fresh products, the wine was excellent and so the price. The service was correct.
In front of the restaurant is the wine-shop where you can find nice wines with an excellent price/quality.
