Increasingly popular, many vegan restaurants are springing up in Paris. Here's a list of the best. 

Veganism is becoming increasingly popular in France. The practice is now ingrained in a number of French people. However, it has taken some time to make its appearance in restaurants. Today, many restaurants, particularly in Paris, are turning to this new way of eating.  

But which are the best vegan restaurants in Paris? 

The best vegan restaurants 

The term was coined by the British in 1944. To be vegan is to eat a healthy diet that does not contain any animal products. It's a practice that appeals to people of all ages and all continents. 

The phenomenon is gaining momentum in France, thanks to animal protection movements. These movements are fighting to protect the environment and animal welfare.  

They are also fighting against the meat industry, which emits too many greenhouse gases and consumes far too much water (it takes 1,500 liters of water to produce just one 100-gram minced steak). 

Today, only 2-3% of the French population are vegetarian or vegan. A modest percentage that has been rising steadily in recent years. Not least thanks to the creation of numerous vegan restaurants in Paris.
