Where to Eat

Taillevent: This is the Parisian ne plus ultra of gastronomy. Taillevent opened in 1946 and has climbed steadily in excellence; today it ranks as Paris’s outstanding all-around restaurant, challenged only by Lucas-Carton and Pierre Gagnaire.                         $$$$

1728: This restaurant is more than a place to eat. It was here that the Marquis de Lafayette spent his winters during the last seven years of his life, receiving a stream of visitors every day and holding informal soirees every Tuesday evening at 8. The rooms are filled with 300 works of art, including a painting in the style of Caravaggio in the tea salon and a wooden Thai rooftop birdlike ornament in the entrance. They hung Venetian chandeliers, satin drapes and hand-painted silk wallpaper and filled the space with marble tables and velvet-covered armchairs.  $$$

What to do
