Access to RUNGIS is totally free. Go there around 2 hours after midnight. No tours, as far as I know, are organised. It is located 6km south of Paris. The RER will take you there

Not bad. I live not so far, so I tried it last week. Although I found the menu not very original. Service is perfect (even a bit too "present"). Indeed, it is now Guy Savoy who bought it. And it is located 100 meters from LIBRAIRIE GOURMANDE, 4 rue Dante, the only bookstore I know specialising only in cookbooks...

What is this thing about this great place "Librairie Gourmande" being closed?? I go there every week!! It is 4 rue Dante (Métro Maubert), and is now the only bookstore in Paris after the closing of the Librairie des Gourmets 2 years ago. In fact, Pierre Gagnaire was there signing his book 2 weeks ago, the twin brothers Pourcel from Montpellier last week, and I think Marc Veyrat will be there to launch his new book next week or the week after. Michel Roux is scheduled as well. I am puzzled by the original mail syaing it was closed. Probably a mistake. They have a new web site running: www.librairie-gourmande.fr and it is a youg and quite wonderful american lady running the show. The number is +33 (0)1 43 54 37 27. I really love the place!!
