On November 6, 2026, Thursday, February 4, 2027 was the date coming into range that evening.\nThose Pacific times hold until March 13, 2027. The 90 days are counted to the minute, so a seating after Europe's clock change on March 28, 2027 opens an hour earlier by the Paris clock, at 5:29pm and 8:14pm, which is 8:29am and 11:14am Pacific through the winter.\nFrenchie is Greg Marchand's small restaurant at 5 rue du Nil in the 2nd arrondissement, open every evening with one five-course menu chosen by the kitchen. You only need to be online at a release for a Friday or Saturday 90 days out. For a trip a month or more away, I'd just book now: on November 6, almost every December evening from the 7th on still had tables for two."

      "text": "The 9:15pm seating, if your night is free after it. The early table has to be given back at 8:45pm, so five courses run on a clock, while the late table has no end time on the booking page. On November 6 the late seating was also the one still open on most November Saturdays. Book the 6:30pm seating only when you have somewhere to be afterwards."

      "text": "Rue du Nil is in the Sentier, a 20-minute walk from the Louvre, so Frenchie works after a day in the center; the food near the Louvre guide covers lunch on the same day. If it is full, Septime opens three weeks ahead at 10am Paris time and Kei opens two months ahead on the first Tuesday of the month. The hardest tables in Paris puts them in order."
