If you choose to travel around France during the Olympic fortnight, here are a few good places where some of the restaurants listed by Gault&Millau are open on Sundays.

Many cities other than Paris are hosting the Olympic Games this summer. Each of them will be swarming with tourists. A golden opportunity to showcase France's heritage, and of course its restaurants. It's not always easy to find a restaurant open on Sundays. We'll give you a helping hand.

Nice

On the Côte d'Azur, you can stroll both in the hilly hinterland and along the Promenade des Anglais. The region abounds in fine specialties: salade niçoise, pan bagnat, daube, but also in fine restaurants.

Pure and V

It's now been six years since sommelier Vanessa Massé opened her Pure et V establishment (2 toques). With a cellar of some 600 wines, the owner always takes great pleasure in discussing them with her customers. On the kitchen side, young Finnish chef Pinja Paakkonen takes the reins. The Scandinavian chef offers a 7-step menu at 145 euros. A mix of great classics, beef tartare, peppercorns, coriander sauce, and less common creations, rabbit and bacon ballotine, buckwheat poultry sauce, apple and chives.
Where? 7 Rue du Lycée, 06000 Nice

Le Bistro Gourmand

At this second Nice address, the offering is drastically different. Exit the gastronomy and head for a chic bistro, open every day of the week. Here, we're talking about the great classics of France's culinary heritage: filet of beef Rossini and confit lamb mouse are on the menu.
Where? 3 Rue Desboutin, 06300 Nice

Lyon

A few hundred kilometers further north, stands the capital of gastronomy. It's hard to stroll through the prefecture of the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region without encountering the culinary panoply on offer.

Paul Bocuse

A veritable gastronomic institution in France since the mid-20th century, the Maison Paul Bocuse (4 toques) is the stronghold of classic French terroir gastronomy. Stoves are in the hands of Olivier Couvin and Gilles Reinhardt, both Meilleurs Ouvriers de France. The menu includes dishes that have become legendary, such as Bresse PDO poultry cooked in a veal bladder. The experience of service and place at Monsieur Paul's are timeless.
Where? 40 Rue de la Plage, 69660 Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or

Christian Têtedoie

In the heart of Fourvière hill lies another of Lyon's many institutions: the restaurant of Meilleur Ouvrier de France Christian Têtedoie. He has been officiating there for 14 years, with a culinary universe ruled by products. The restaurant's dining room offers a breathtaking view of the Lyon metropolis.
Where? 4 Rue Professeur Pierre MARION, 69005 Lyon

Marseille

Between a stroll in the calanques and a match at the Stade Vélodrome, here are the places to stop for a treat in the Phocéenne city.

Les Réformés

A large 300 m² arts complex, this is a relaxed venue. Menu prices range from 9 to 40 euros, with creations such as braised octopus with bulgur, pea ragout, artichokes and mint. Chef Pierre-Alexis Bernard is one of the 109 Gault&Millau 2024.
Where? 125 La Canebière, 13001 Marseille

La Villa Madie

We're heading out of Marseille and into Cassis, where we'll be offering top-notch gastronomy in idyllic surroundings. Chef Dimitri Droisneau, in his La Villa Madie establishment (4 toques), produces fine recipes such as pike leaf, all to be enjoyed facing the sea.
Where? anse de Corton, 30 Avenue du Revestel, 13260 Cassis

In Châteauroux, the Auberge des Saveurs

The continuation of our tour of France takes us to the Indre region. In Châteauroux, you can visit the Château de Chenonceau, a Loire Valley treasure, on foot or in the air, by hot-air balloon. Here you'll find a beautiful maison de maître, open every day of the week, serving simple dishes. This is what best defines the personal cuisine of chef-owner Karima Séghiri.
Where? 1 Place de l'Église, 36800 Chasseneuil

Bordeaux

A little further south, on the west coast, stand the mythical Bordeaux vineyards. The city, famous for the wines of its region, is brimming with history and fine addresses.

Le Bordeaux

At Bruno Grand-Clément, the cuisine is traditional, as evidenced by the lamb shoulder and chickpea salad. The setting is resolutely luxurious, yet the forume entrée plat dessert is priced at 30 euros. Enough to play the role of the Pressoir d'Argent Gordon Ramsay 's little brother (3 toques).
Where? 2-5 Place de la Comédie, 33000 Bordeaux

Les Sources de Caudalie

In the heart of the land, in the vineyards, stands the hotel Les Sources de Caudalie. Its eponymous 4-toque restaurant offers a seven-stage menu, "Le voyage en terre de vignes", symbolizing the cuisine on offer. The stated aim: to travel through this terroir by going straight to the essentials.
Where? Smith Haut-Lafitte, 33650 Martillac

Paris

The capital, home of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, is a true reflection of French culture around the world. The City of Light is home to countless restaurants and the world's finest chefs.

L'Oiseau Blanc - Peninsula Hotel

A restaurant in one of Paris's finest hotels, L'Oiseau Blanc (3 toques) is a gastronomic benchmark of the highest quality. Its chef, David Bizet, welcomes you to a glassed-in dining room with a great view of the capital. You'll be able to enjoy a sea bass à la nage, accompanied by oysters à la flamme, lemongrass broth, ginger and shellfish; all facing the Eiffel Tower or the Sacré-Cœur.
Where? 19 Avenue Kléber, 75116 Paris

Colvert

For this second Parisian address, make way for 109 Gault&Millau Arnaud Baptiste. The Top Chef season 12 candidate offers bistronomic cuisine at the establishment. The chef orients his dishes around the product in its simplicity, such as quasi veal cooked in binchotan, followed by a mousseline of peas, smoked eel, full-bodied jus, veal jus infused with verbena.
Where? 54 Rue Saint-André des Arts, 75006 Paris


PeninsulaParis - Florian Domergue

In Nantes, Brasserie Félix

Another trip down the Loire, but closer to the Atlantic coast, where the famous Éléphant mécanique (Mechanical Elephant) is on the move.Just a stone's throw from the Cité des Congrès is Brasserie Félix (1 toque), with its large terrace ideal for soaking up the summer sunshine. The starter, main course and dessert menu costs 30 euros, enough to please everyone. With simple dishes like filet mignon de cochon with black garlic cream, snacked polenta, carrot purée and spinach tombée.
Where? 1 Rue Lefèvre-Utile, 44000 Nantes
