I live opposite Le Bistrot d'Henri (in fact you can see my front door on the final shot of that sequence). Henri is sadly no longer with us but his two sons, Julien and David now run the place together with another couple of family restaurants within about fifty yards (Le Machon and Iou Pescadou). The menu at 'Le Bistrot' hasn't changed since 1956.
