A 18th Century hunting lodge on the outskirts of Paris has long been a summer destination for those getting away from the city, destined for the pristine gardens that once hosted aerial exhibitions by Alberto Santos-Dumont in the early 1900s. Today, the area has lost much of its agrarian feel but the magical gardens and famous chateau remain with party-minded eatery that attracts an August-set of fashionistas and luminaries. The restaurant is housed in a period Anglo-Chinese structure with surrounding landscape of rose beds, tranquil lake and grand terrace cast under a modern-day canopy of white umbrellas.

Dishes vary between predictable French staples from roast chicken and grilled steak to ore interesting seafood dishes and salads that are large enough to satiate a model-appetite.
Last Word
Famous Paris chateau offers May to September party-minded eatery that attracts a summer-set of fashionistas and socialites.
