  L'Hôtel du Nord is the legendary Right Bank brasserie created in 1913 and immortalized in Marcel Carné's film of the same name (1938), based on the novel by writer Eugène Dabit (1929).

  Thanks to a petition led by actor Jean Claude Brialy, Parisians in love with their city, the cinema and the bistro, the Hôtel du Nord was saved from total destruction in 1995, and its facade classified as a Parisian historic monument.

  Since then, the restaurant has been welcoming film and book connoisseurs, tourists and locals alike, with its 1920s ambiance and decor, down to the smallest detail. The new owners of the Hôtel du Nord, passionate about the history of this magical place, are offering a free guided tour on the occasion of the European Heritage Days.
