LA FERME SAINT SIMON owes its name to the fact that it is sited in 6, Saint-Simon streeet in the 7th
The previous name (Bougnat of the Chamber) was also a twinkle in its geographical situation but also to the origins and activities of the first owners, from Auvergne region, who had made their trade in restaurants and cafés but also as marchants of coal from which comes the name : “Bougnat de la Chambre”. You can see in the restaurant two ancient photographies of this epoch.
The Chamber was of course in reference to the Chamber of Deputies (House of Commons) located nearby.
