In Paris and the Ile-de-France region, it's not always easy to find your way around all the restaurants on offer. There are many legendary addresses, as well as many new openings every year. So, if you want to be sure of findingauthenticity and conviviality during your lunch or dinner, Parisian inns are the right solution for you!
Originally, inns welcomed weary travelers looking for a good meal and a roof over their heads for the night. Today, they perpetuate this tradition by offering typical dishes prepared with local and seasonal produce. Often rustic (but not always!), these inns feature exposed wooden beams, fireplaces and an intimate, country atmosphere.
Rich in tradition and conviviality, the inns of Paris and Ile-de-France are often nestled in picturesque settings, embodying the charm and art of living à la française. While some of these addresses combine authenticity with refined cuisine, others, further out, offer a more bucolic setting, perfect for a simple gourmet getaway.
What's more, in addition to a generous meal, some of these inns also offer cosy bedding, allowing guests to extend their stay in this enchanting setting. Here are the best addresses for inns in Paris and the Ile-de-France region!
