For a countryside feel in Paris, head to L’Auberge du Père Louis in the Grands-Boulevards area. Food-lovers are in for a treat with the spit-roasted specialities at this Norman family-friendly ‘auberge’, opened in 1903. Here you will find a rustic décor with check tablecloths, and traditional cuisine… La Bonne Franquette, in Montmartre, will take you back to the time of Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec, with its pretty terrace and garden. Moulin de la Galette, nearby, is an old windmill that became the haunt of the Impressionists, then a music hall and then a renowned restaurant.
