If Paris is in your plans I have no hesitation in recommending "L'Ambassade
de'Auvergne" which is not very far from Place des Vosges on the Arts et
Metiers direction. The star dish I think is the warm lentil salad big
enough to serve the whole table and good enough to recreate and share with
the world. I did not liuke the famous mashed potatoes with cheese, nor the
pot au feu, but the rest of the food was terrific and it wasn't expensive
(for Paris.)
