🍽️ Armagnac Front and Center in Paris At Hélène Darroze’s Marsan

Armagnac maintains its symbolic associations with the French countryside at one of the capital’s most significant fine dining establishments.

Hélène Darroze’s Marsan, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris’s 6th arrondissement, is one of the few fine dining establishments to champion Armagnac with both authenticity and purpose. Integrating it through thoughtful pairings, a large archive of historic vintages, and an emphasis on storytelling, Marsan anchors this Gascon brandy’s place in international haute cuisine, and gives contemporary relevance to a spirit that remains staunchly traditional.
