Situated in the the charming St. Germain des Pres since 1856, "Aux Charpentiers" is where President Jacques Chirac celebrated his sixtieth anniversary. Besides politicians, "Aux Charpentiers" also attracts quite a few journalists. "Côte de boeuf" (Side of Beef) is the specialty here, and the cuisine is traditional with a touch of 'Corrèze'. The atmosphere is that of a convivial Parisian brasserie, complete with all the original woodwork.
