Manuela’s opinion
Why go there?
To turn back the clock at the age of Enlightenment, at the XVIIIeme, in the very heart of Lille old city, on a tune of Mozart, Lully or Beethoven.
To have dinner in a lovely rococo boudoir near Marie-Antoinette, or in the Louix XVI dining-room decorated with hessian,old portraits and tin cutlery.
To pick with a silver fork yesteryear dishes tenderly reinterpreted.
To share with the chef Stéphane his passion for Versailles.
