In Paris, everyone has their own place; the poor can choose places like Faubourg Street in the Twelfth District, while the wealthy can settle on the Champs-Élysées. As the pride of European culinary culture, French restaurants, aside from high-end options like 'Le Grand Véfour' and 'Le Procope,' also offer many affordable eateries suitable for the middle class and ordinary citizens.

This restaurant, set in a stone building, has an iron sign gently swaying at the entrance. Although the location is not very ideal, the restaurant owner, insisting on appearances, has furnished the place with plenty of wooden furniture, even hanging some seemingly random paintings on the slightly peeling walls.
