A hundred years ago, during WWI, there was a tiny island in the middle of the Seine that held the best restaurant in all of Paris called
Le Minipalais —The Little Palace.

Head chef, and businesscat, Narcisse, believed it was necessary to create a refuge for the artists of Paris, animals and humans alike.

The Little Palace has a cast of memorable characters that help us make sense of a time of war, a time in our shared world history. 

Is it possible to put our differences aside and co-exist peacefully? 

“A charming and thought-provoking tale…”
