Brunch in Boulogne-Billancourt Celebrates Artistry in Both Food and Media

BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Sep 26, 2013) - Few things can improve on a Sunday brunch. Sharing fresh eggs, fruit and pastries with family and friends feels like a well-deserved reward at the end of the week. But the Courtyard Paris Boulogne has hit upon perhaps the one thing that can make the experience even more satisfying: a celebration of the visual arts.

Light, bright and airy, the hotel's Oleo Pazzo has already established itself as one of the most appealing terrace restaurants in Boulogne-Billancourt. Its Mediterranean-inspired cuisine has earned a following among locals and visitors alike, but its creative approach to brunch draws people to Boulogne. Served each Sunday between noon and 3 p.m., the freshly prepared fare and contemporary dining room have the right sort of buzz that speaks to the weekend crowd.

On the first Sunday of each month, however, guests get a side dish of fine art along with their pancakes and bacon, because the Boulogne hotel collaborates with the Parisian art association Carre Sur Seine to create its Art Brunch. As guests savor the meal, they're invited to examine a curated selection of artworks and listen to the local artist speak about it. The artworks remain on view in the restaurant for a month.

High-brow entertainment gives way to a more lighthearted experience on the third Sunday of each month when this hotel in Paris-Boulogne puts on its Kids' Brunch. Taking over the dining room are animation, games and decorations that suit a new theme each month. The effect is at once enchanting for the under-12 set and mesmerizing for their young-at-heart companions.

The rest of the Sundays stick to the tried-and-true approach of classic brunches. And while the offerings may change week to week, the prices don't. Brunch runs 27EUR for adults, 15EUR for children and 42EUR for a Champagne brunch.
