This is a must do for vegan's traveling through Paris. It was our first B&B experience and we really had no idea what to expect and were completely delighted with every moment and wished we'd found it earlier so we could have stayed there the whole time! Its a very light and comfortable place that is impeccably neat and clean. The family that runs it is simply amazing. We were greeted at the gate by Alex the son who collected our luggage and showed us up to the B&B which is a large apartment set off a nice street near a metro station and the Arc de Triomphe. We were greeted by Deborah who showed us our fresh and comfortable room complete with a snack plate and water. We arrived fairly close to dinner and went for the dinner option as well, which is a must do at least one of the nights you are there. Caroline and Deborah created a masterful meal. We started in the living room with Artichoke spread orderves & a melon soup along with a special wine concoction. It was absolutely amazing to connect with everyone and learn more about vegan life in Paris over drinks and dinner. They also give guided tours and/or pack vegan lunches for you to take on your day trips, to Versailles for example (very good idea). Breakfast included a colossal spread of breads, fruit, juices, soy yogurt, and a tofu scramble! Pure heaven! The Gentle Gourmet just made Paris oh so more special! You can't miss this experience!
