C?line Chung? was born in Paris to Chinese parents. Growing up eating her mom’s traditional cooking, C?line did a university exchange in Shanghai to discover China for herself. She fell in love with the food and traveled across the country to learn about the varied regional cuisines. In 2019 she opened Petit Bao, serving authentic traditional Chinese cuisine made with French-sourced ingredients in a modern setting inspired equally by Paris and Shanghai. There are now four Paris restaurants in the Bao family.
