France's regional kitchens find a home in Paris through rooms that specialise in one corner of the country, from Lyonnais bouchon cooking to the cured meats of the southwest. These places trade on tradition rather than reinvention. Aux Lyonnais in the 2nd arrondissement serves the dishes of Lyon, while Chez Michel near the Gare du Nord in the 10th works a Breton repertoire.

TipTwo seatings only, 19:30 and 21:30. Closed Sunday. Sit close to the fire in winter.
