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..."
