Lapérouse

At number 51 on the quai des Grands Augustins, Lapérouse is one of those addresses that, in itself, embodies the memory of Paris. A house of pleasures since 1766, the first restaurant awarded three Michelin stars in 1933, its discreet salons have welcomed Victor Hugo, Zola, Proust, Gainsbourg, Churchill — and continue to attract today’s icons of fashion and cinema. Exceptional French cuisine, an intimate bar with embroidered tapestries and velvet banquettes, a cellar of more than 7,000 bottles preserved since the Great Flood. And private dining rooms for those who seek to suspend time.
