The partner's word
La Mare aux Canards is a well-established restaurant nestled in the heart of the Meudon forest, accessible by foot, bicycle, or horse-drawn carriage. It welcomes guests for lunch from Tuesday to Sunday and for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday in an exceptional forest setting. The identity of the restaurant revolves around a large hearth where rotisseries continuously turn, roasting ducks, chickens, and cocks to perfection.
The dining experience offers a seasonal contrast: guests can enjoy the terrace and the patio by the forest in the summer or gather around the crackling fireplace indoors during the winter. The interior spaces include a welcoming entrance area and a comfortable dining room, contributing to a sense of secrecy and discovery in this hidden forest refuge.
La Mare aux Canards dates back to the early 19th century, when the Petit-Maire family established a farm for ducks and hens near the Mare Adam pond. In the 1950s, the family built the main restaurant building, featuring the iconic rotisserie chimney. Today, the house is renowned worldwide for its spit-roasted poultry and traditional French dishes, preserving a rich culinary heritage in a unique forest setting.
