The 2024 Summer Olympic Games are beginning later this week in Paris France.
With so much attention on the games and the region surrounding them, we wanted to create a guide to help you get a taste of the games here in Huntsville. Here are 5 great French restaurants you can find around town:
1) L’Etoile Patisserie

For great authentic French baked goods, L’Etoile Patisserie is your best bet.
With great food and a charming atmosphere, all their pastries are baked fresh in-house each morning and affordably priced.
We featured them previously in our drinking around the world coffee guide.

Translating to the little gem, Le Petit Bijou is a spin-off wine bar from Domaine South.

Pofta Buna is not a strictly French restaurant but rather incorporates influences from France, Romania and Greece to make delicious Mediterranean and European-inspired dishes.
For that French flair we recommend trying one of the many crepes they offer.
