The 9 most unusual and unique restaurants in France

France, mainly known as the country of Gastronomy. You are on vacation in France and you want to have lunch or dinner in a unique restaurant. You will not miss traditional restaurants, but also original and unique restaurants. We have prepared a list of the most unusual restaurants in France.

The Blue Wagon in Paris

Board the train, head for the Wagon Bleu in Paris! Le Wagon Bleu offers on its menu several Corsican specialties as well as personal adaptations. The largest Corsican wine list in Paris! A simple menu with tapas, dishes, and a large selection of wines! Possibility of private sitting in the wagon day and night: https://www.wagonbleu.fr

Where does the Blue Wagon come from: In the 1950s, the establishment, a simple bar, was run by Corsicans. One day, they have the idea to crane, from the railway tracks, a wagon of the Orient-Express, from 1925, leaving for the scrapyard. The latter is installed in place of their petanque ground and becomes the dining room of the establishment.

Entirely rehabilitated in the early 1960s, the Wagon Bleu has allowed the production of many scenes from cult films, including one from La Grande Vadrouille.
