Ping pong’s new HQ in the south of Paris
As the great spectacle of the Olympic Games draws to a close, we’re still reeling from the remarkable performances of the French delegation. And among the most memorable epics, the Lebrun brothers and Simon Gauzy are remembered for their table tennis achievements. While millions of viewers thrilled to their exploits, many enthusiasts were able to follow it up close at Yang Xiao Chu, a Chinese chinese restaurant in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, which has become a must for all sports fans.
In the immediate vicinity of the Arena Paris Sud (where the discipline’s Olympic events were held), the venue saw its attendance explode during the Olympic Games. Having become an unofficial fan zone for no good reason, the establishment first attracted Chinese tourists, before seeing many French and Americans flock in. During the Games, many athletes registered for the ping pong tournaments even came to eat.
A huge success for the establishment, which is practically packed out every day. If you’re a table tennis enthusiast, come and discover this extraordinary restaurant!
