Travelling to Paris this fall and LOVE cassoulet! I have eaten it in the country, would love to know of some favorites in the city. Thanks.

You'll have troubles getting a real good cassoulet in Paris, it's of Southwestern origin (Toulouse).<BR>The following places specialize in that particular kind of food:<BR>Au Trou Gascon, 12th<BR>Chez D'Eux, 7th<BR>Fontaine de Mars, 7th

Benoit near the Marais area - for lunch. And if two, ask whether you can share one order - the pots are huge, enough for four people. Order a terrific wine, it will keep them happy. And save some for the cheese afterward. This will be one of your happier weight gain episodes. Plan nothing intellectual afterward.

Thanks BonSoir and RnR! I have read of all 4 places you mentioned--will add to the "list"!<BR>Au Revoir!

There used to be a place called the Relais du Sudouest on a street parallel to and north of the rue de Rivoli just about directly north of the Louvre (sorry, it's been years - this is the best I can do) that had the best cassoulet I've ever had outside of Castelnaudary, where it is said to have been invented. It was a kind of dark and somehat dingy place, but oh boy! what cassoulet! I don't know if it's still there, or if it is if I'd still recommend it, but it might be worth a look if you're in the area.
