Le relais de Saint-Germain, French bistro and cafe in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France.
Le Relais de Saint-Germain is a restaurant and cafe housed in a 17th-century building with exposed beams, stone walls, and antique furnishings at Carrefour de l'Odéon. The space combines contemporary cooking with classical French traditions in a warm, traditional setting.
The establishment was founded in 2005 by Yves and Claudine Camdeborde and introduced the concept of modern bistro dining to Paris at the time. It demonstrated that high-quality cooking could be offered at reasonable prices.
The rooms carry names of French writers connected to Paris, such as Marcel Proust and Madame de Sévigné. This literary connection creates a personal touch for guests staying in the historic building.
The restaurant is only accessible to visitors who book a room in the attached hotel. Lunch or dinner thus becomes part of your stay and allows for a continuous experience within the building.
Its location at Carrefour de l'Odéon, one of the oldest and most active intersections in the neighborhood, gives it a natural connection to the area's rhythm. From here, visitors can observe the lively activity on the streets and feel the energy of the quarter.
