Eiffel Tower “Jules Verne” restaurant reopening July 20, 2019

The Jules Verne restaurant, which was closed on September 3, 2018 due to the great renovation project of the Iron Lady to regain its beauty, at a colossal cost of 300 million euros, will be reopening July 20.

The gourmet Parisian 1-star restaurant in the Michelin Guide, located on the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower offers an impressive view of the city of Paris from the metal beams of the Iron Lady.

The restaurant perched at 125 meters above sea level will welcome a new chef at the helm: Frédéric Anton, whose restaurant Au Pré Catelan has been awarded three Michelin stars since 2007.

The production of old-fashioned vinegar and mustard seed still alive in the Loire Valley!

In the cellars of Martin Pouret, in Fleury-les-Aubrais (Loiret), the vinegar still has the taste of the soil. This company of ten employees, founded in 1797, is the last one to perpetuate the tradition of vinegar of Orleans which goes back to the Middle Ages, when the wine followed the Loire before being unloaded and transported to Paris. Its bestseller remains the classic old-fashioned wine vinegar, but new vinegars are also developed using specific vines like chardonnay or merlot, or flavoured with Espelette pepper. The company also plays the diversification card by resuscitating missing agricultural sectors, like a 100% local mustard now produced by Val de Loire farmers that have been convinced to revive the growing of the mustard seed instead of importing it.
