L'Oiseau Blanc, French restaurant in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France
L'Oiseau Blanc is a restaurant on the sixth floor of The Peninsula Paris offering 360-degree views of the city and its landmarks. A suspended aircraft replica with an 11-meter wingspan dominates the space, positioned to face the Eiffel Tower.
The restaurant is named after Charles Nungesser and François Coli, two French pilots who attempted a transatlantic flight from Le Bourget in 1927. This flight attempt was a significant moment in early European aviation history.
The name and design honor Paris's aviation history while celebrating contemporary French cooking rooted in regional ingredients and methods. This connection shapes how guests experience both the cuisine and the space around them.
The restaurant features a rooftop terrace in the open air, which means weather can affect the dining experience more directly. Dressing formally is expected, and visiting during clear evenings works best to enjoy the views and the surroundings.
The aircraft replica is positioned intentionally so that it appears to face the Eiffel Tower as a tribute. Many visitors only notice this subtle alignment after settling into their seats.
