Rive Gauche signatures

Guanaja Cake

Layers of the finest Valrhona Guanaja chocolate, renowned for its intense and cimplex flavour profile, as a luscious glaze, aromatic sponge, silky ganache, and the surprise crunch of a feuilletine base. Our signature since 1993.

Strawberry Shortcake

Our Strawberry Shortcake is a delightful symphony of textures and tastes, perfectly balancing the sweet, the fruity, and the creamy. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply savoring a slice of summertime, our Strawberry Shortcake is the embodiment of simple, pure, and utterly scrumptious dessert perfection.

Mont Blanc

Vanilla sponge is filled with chestnut cream, Chantilly cream, and marrons glacés. This French signature is perfect with coffee, tea—even brandy! Delicious. We offer two delicious options for our cake: one with a rich, flavorful rum infusion, and the other without rum for a delightful alcohol-free treat.

Battle Of The Banks: The Rive Gauche Vs. The Rive Droite

Even if you restrict the banks to just the riverfront strips, it is still a seriously tough matchup. The Left Bank boasts the majestic Institut du Monde Arabe, the mint Monnaie de Paris, and the mighty Musée d’Orsay and Musée du Quai Branly. How can the Right Bank compete, right? Well, even if you discount the Louvre (and you shouldn’t), there is still the Pavillon de l’Arsenal for architecture buffs and its trio of dynamic duos: the Jeu de Paume and Musée de l’Orangerie, the Petit and Grand Palais, and the Palais de Tokyo and Musée d’Art Moderne.

How to make the trip:

1. Go to any Métro or RER station in Paris and use the ticket machine to buy a roundtrip fare to Versailles Château Rive Gauche. The machine will print two separate tickets: one for the outbound trip, and another for the return. (The ticket machines are multilingual, and you can pay by credit card.)

You can skip this step if you have a Paris Visite, Navigo, or Mobilis pass that's valid for zones 1-4.

2. Using the Métro or RER (or walking, if it's more convenient), go to any station of RER Ligne C .

Popular "C" line stations in central Paris include St-Michel (near Notre Dame), Musée d'Orsay, Invalides, Pont de l'Alma, and Champs de Mars - Tour Eiffel.

If you're coming from northern Paris on Line C1, you'll need to change trains at Champs de Mars - Tour Eiffel.

3. Check the station monitor for "VICK" trains to Versaille Chateau RG and go to the platform indicated.

4. Board the train when it arrives.
