The French capital experienced a boom in these establishments in the 19th century. After being on the verge of extinction, they have recently made a comeback, thanks to their traditional food and affordable prices

    This is a very distorted article. I live in Paris and most restaurants offer 3 cours meals for under 20EUR contrary to what the article claims. Bouillon Chartier is only a place for affordable food for Parisian when squinting very hard. It’s rather a highly touristy place with a particular business model. Without going into detail about it, it’s strange to take such an outlier focused on foreigners as the centerpoint of an article about “inflation ridden Paris”. Other nice initiatives should have been there.

      Found this article from le Parisien : https://www.leparisien.fr/paris-75/ils-ont-trouve-le-remede-a-linflation-les-bonnes-recettes-des-bouillons-parisiens-13-05-2023-MY2HIUETLFENHI4PXRUZ2Y5B2E.php

        I’m curious about the path this has taken. Why would El Pais even write about this? Maybe their readers are more attracted by the generic doomsday message about inflation than about Bouillon Chartier. Interesting how an article that initially reads like (and maybe was thought to be) advertisement takes such a turn. Unfortunately I don’t know enough about how the press works.

          It’s in their culture section, I guess to them it’s a way to talk about another country and its specificities? Also it’s the English version of El Pais, so probably targeted at English speaking immigrants living in Spain

      First, no need to be so agressive.

      Second, here’s a source in French the article is based on: https://www.leparisien.fr/paris-75/ils-ont-trouve-le-remede-a-linflation-les-bonnes-recettes-des-bouillons-parisiens-13-05-2023-MY2HIUETLFENHI4PXRUZ2Y5B2E.php
