L Valy sur Paris

02/02/2026: Hello, Despite the emotion of entering such a historic and listed historical monument, there were a few regrettable issues. One of the lampshades on our round table, right at the entrance to the restaurant near the small bar, was torn, and I noticed another one further along. The toilet brush is missing its handle. I was told this was because the establishment had been booked for a private birthday party the day before. We arrived at 1:45 PM as planned, and most of the other customers had left before us. The tables hadn't been cleared; the plates were removed, of course, and then, a little while later, the glasses. The stained tablecloths remained for a very long time, with napkins lying loose all around us. Our server finally removed them after about 20 minutes and put new, folded tablecloths on the tables. It was unpleasant. Finally, the gougères were dry and the edges were crisp. They should be more melt-in-your-mouth. On the other hand, I'm delighted with the book I bought about this legendary place. Sincerely, Martine GAUTIER
