The Blue Train
Keen to impress future visitors from all over Europe coming to the 1900 World's Fair, the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée railway company also asked architect Marius Toudoire to design the buffet at the Gare de Lyon station.

Brasserie Café de la Paix
From then on, all of Europe and the Americas' financiers, aristocrats and industrialists flocked to this temple of Parisian good taste to see and be seen. The clientele was so elegant that, according to a newspaper of the time, "men of letters do not venture there and courtesans feel uncomfortable".

Lapérouse
The sound of a diamond scratching a mirror... A familiar sound at Lapérouse during the Belle Époque. In the small salons on the first floor, elegant ladies would check the value of gifts from their suitors. The marks left by these jewels are still visible today in this intimate, hushed setting. Founded in 1766, the restaurant's destiny has evolved in step with the upheavals in its neighbourhood.

Le Bouillon Racine
Designed in 1906 by architect Jean-Marie Bouvier on behalf of Camille Chartier, king of popular restaurants at the beginning of the century, the establishment offers a simple recipe to workers in the neighbourhood: a single meat dish accompanied by broth, served on marble tables in the tradition of Pierre-Louis Duval's Bouillons.

Le Gallopin
40 rue Notre-Dame-des-Victoires thus symbolised the successful marriage between Victorian England, fin-de-siècle New York and Haussmannian Paris: Gallopin created Le Grand Bar there, bringing in an impressive revolving door (since removed for safety reasons) from New York, while the bar and Victorian woodwork, in beautiful Cuban mahogany, were shipped in from London.

La Maison du Télégraphe
Appreciated for its charm and elegance, this historic place, whose façade gives no hint of its interior décor, opened in 1987 and became one of the capital's "trendy" restaurants. Taken over at the end of the 1990s, it underwent a few minor changes: walls painted with gold leaf, new tableware. The ceiling echoes the dark purple of the new seats, giving the place a warm and cosy atmosphere while retaining the spirit instilled by Bliaut at the beginning of the century.

The Zimmer
Here, one might encounter Jules Verne, his eyes mysterious, greeting Sarah Bernhardt and her cohort of admirers with distinction. Mahler, Debussy and Strauss come here to discuss Wagner or dodecaphony. Dance and the Russian ballets are also well represented, with Nijinsky and Diaghilev parading before the amused gaze of Picasso or Apollinaire.
