Eating and Travelling Your Way Around Paris, France

No, dear souls, Chartier is not Cartier (I too actually got excited for a second when I first saw it as it has the same logo), but rather a former soup kitchen or bouillion that now services as a restaurant for one and all. It's vast and reminiscent of a train station, not helped by the baggage stands above the tables. It's said to be fast and furious and you go there for a good quality, economical meal in surroundings that have elements of splendour. In 1989 it was classified as a historic building. Their aim is to "satisfy the bellies without hurting the wallets"
