A young cook decided that the French would enjoy feasting on rabbits and decided
to raise rabbits in Paris and sell them to the finer restaurants in the city. He
searched all over Paris seeking a suitable place to raise his rabbits. None could
be found. Finally, an old priest at the cathedral said he could have a small area
behind the rectory for his rabbits. He successfully raised a number of them, and
when he went about Paris selling them, a restaurant owner asked him where he got
such fresh rabbits. The young man replied, "I raise them myself, near the cathedral.
In fact, I have ... a hutch back of Notre Dame.
