As stated before, Rungis is absolutely not secretive at all. Every average citizen knows about it.
It was initially within Paris (now Chatelet-Les Halles station) and was moved in the suburb to expand.
Not only top-chef buy their food there, but the large majority of french restaurant, not only within Paris but from the rest of France.
I wonder about the doubts raised by the article on the future of Rungis. Rungis is almost a religion. I don't see it declining. In fact it has no competitors at his scale.
- antimagic 12y agoYeah, Rungis is hardly secretive. So much not so in fact that my GPS seems to take a perverse delight in directing me through there anytime the autoroute is closed for whatever reason :-/
- julie1 12y agoThe joy of French map that are false around Paris in the suburbs unless you take the highway. Was using IGN map to go to Paris from Pontoise using the straight line fresh market road from Rouen... Nearly got killed by gypsies, and false indications ... The screenshots of roads that disappeared years ago where a carrier near Cormeilles, made a very nice irrealistic suspended road in thin air 20 meters above the ground. Would have been fun, if in the quite abrupt slope going down on Argenteuil I did not discovered at full speed a roundabout that was not supposed to be there. It makes you wonder why we send satellites in space if we don't update the maps for decades. Probably a remain of De Gaule plans to confuse the USSR invading us.
- justincormack 12y agoYes its pretty well known outside France too. And the comments about knowing how sausages are made are just stupid. The government selling a stake hardly seems like the end if the world.
- matthewmcg 12y agoAgreed. It was even prominently featured in one of the Paris episodes on "No Reservations." http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-shows/anthony-bourdain/travel-guides/paris?cat=all http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-shows/anthony-bourdain/trave...
