Our team crafts each day's bowls as a story: one of Provençal markets, spices from afar and artisan know-how. Creative recipes that evolve with the seasons.
It was in 1968 that Nicole, the eldest of our family, began her career in the restaurant business. Our chef learned her culinary secrets and created new recipes over the years.
Today the 3rd generation is at the helm of Le Petit Palais to honour her memory by carrying on her expertise and the passion of our craft.
