Le Colimaçon
Tours & Activities in Paris
Take a guided walking tour through the Latin Quarter, one of Paris’s oldest neighborhoods. See Roman ruins and Renaissance gardens. Follow your guide to monuments that reveal the story of Paris through the centuries. Visit Église Saint‑Étienne‑du‑Mont, known for the shrine of Saint Geneviève, and step into the Arènes de Lutèce, a Roman amphitheater. Walk through Luxembourg Gardens. Finish the tour at the Panthéon with tickets that ensure entry.
The Musée d'Orsay is home to France's national collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Art Nouveau works. Its majestic collection of elegant artworks from the Belle Époque and beyond, coupled with its beautiful location inside a Beaux-Arts railway station on the banks of the Seine, makes it one of the most stunning museums in the world. That's no exaggeration! See for yourself with these Musée d'Orsay tickets, which promise easy and efficient entry to the museum.
Over 700,000 people come to see Rodin's famed sculptures at Musée Rodin annually. The sculptor himself couldn't have predicted his popularity – even if he did dedicate most of his life's work to founding a museum in his own name. Here, you can see original casts of his most iconic pieces such as _The Thinker_, _The Kiss_, _The Gates of Hell_, and more. The museum itself has some history to it, as it was formerly the Hôtel Biron, a _hôtel particulier_ built in the 18th-century Rocaille style. This opulent hôtel and gardens is the perfect place to explore Rodin's impressionist masterpieces.

Authentic Stories from Diners
One of our favorite experiences in Paris thus far. Food was incredible! Our group of four people left nothing behind on our plates. We also absolutely loved the chocolate lava cake. We will be having dreams about that dessert! The foie gras with the fig jam + pink peppercorns… will also be in my dreams at night. Highly recommend!
Highly personal and traditional French dining experience. The food is fantastic and the service is excellent. Wide variety of food and wine/cocktails. The food was a farm to table type experience. You cannot go wrong with any item in this restaurant. I do recommend a reservation.
Exquisite dinner, modern relaxed atmosphere. Not the cheapest place but certainly enjoyed more vegetables with my meal than I have ever been served in Paris before, which was very welcome. I tried the snails which were very delicious (and didn’t look like snails at all 😅) which I would recommend. It was a special place for a special occasion and we enjoyed our evening and food very much. Make sure you book if you want to ensure you get a table. The service is fairly quick so there may be more than 1 or even 2 sittings so you might be lucky. Family friendly if you can afford to take the whole family.
I have been wanting to dine here for some time. We finally did on December 20. We sat upstairs and it was a great environment. Our server was fantastic and attentive. The foie gras French toast was outstanding! I can’t stop talking about it! All of our dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! The wine list is remarkably well priced. It was one of the finest, if not the finest, meals and experiences that I have had in my 6 or 7 trips to Paris. I have been recommending it to friends ever since. We will gladly return to Le Colimaçon when we return to Paris. Thank you for such a lovely evening!
A Paris gem! Our group dined here, and it was superb! Small, intimate & cozy. The food was delicious, and service very good. Being vegetarian, I enjoyed the Vegetable Curry dish. It was really good, and very satisfying. Nice variety of dishes to choose from, and also excellent wine & cocktail selection. Perfect charming place to relax.. and dine, while in Paris 🇫🇷 oh, and the Stuffed Peppers are sooo yummy!! Best to make a reservation..very popular place
