A secret getaway rather like an urban Garden of Eden surrounded by leafy walls, Le Jardin Privé at Novotel Paris Les Halles offers an enchanting interlude at the heart of the capital. For the summer season, Executive Chef Nicolas Amelin and his teams have inaugurated a Barbecue Menu with sun-blessed lunchtime dishes : green gaspacho, grilled octopus, swordfish steak with lemon and pimento… A congenial, laidback atmosphere, offering a foretaste of the holidays ! Novotel Paris les Halles, Jardin Privé, 9 place Marguerite de Navarre, Paris 1er. (01 42 21 31 31).
