When Does Ratatouille Take Place

Does Ratatouille take place?

Ratatouille is set in Paris, France, and focuses on a rat named Remy who dreams of being a chef. He sets out to make his dreams come true, and soon he and a young human chef named Alfredo Linguini end up working together in a race to foil the schemes of Chef Skinner.

Is Ratatouille a true story?

Many reviewers believe that Gusteau is inspired by real-life chef Bernard Loiseau, who committed suicide after media speculation that his flagship restaurant, La Côte d’Or, was going to be downgraded from three Michelin stars to two. La Côte d’Or was one of the restaurants visited by Brad Bird and others in France.
