Fouranise

Critics-at-Large	The smart way to pick the best places to eat, stay, shop, have fun and to do business with because you are the critic! It is truly the people's choice!

For the fan of Impressionist paintings, one restaurant just west of Paris on the Seine stands out...the former Maison Fournaise where Renoir painted "Le Dejuner des Canotiers". It's not too expensive and the food is excellent.

Lunch for a party of five was $156 including wine. In the Impressionest Period, the Maison Fournaise was a "gang-gette"...a luncheon spot along the Seine where boating parties would have lunch before setting out for an afternoon of canoeing.

Chatou can be reached on the east-west RER line going in the direction of St. Germain-en-Laye.
