Alain Ducasse opened the doors to Le Louis XV restaurant in 1987, and within thirty-three months was awarded the highest culinary recognition by the Michelin Guide.
Located at the historic Hôtel de Paris, “Alain Ducasse at the Hôtel de Paris”, as this high-end restaurant is now called, re-opened its showcases the products, flavors and colors of the Riviera with modernity and youth, a haven of elegance and style.

Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku were once again the responsibility for this collaboration with Ducasse. They have been working other luxury restaurants such as the Jules Verne restaurant at the Eiffel Tower and the “Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée”.
“We had no desire to erase its history,” Manku says. Designed as a retro-futuristic of the French Belle Epoque decor, the new dining room brings an element of modernity into a mythical place, a frieze of portraits, a ceiling fresco of a nymph and angels in a blue sky.
Frame and highlight the ceiling fresco by suspending, directly beneath it, an immense halo composed of 800 pieces of Murano glass aglow with LEDs warmed to an amber honey by foil.
Jouin and Manku placed a waiters’ station partially enclosed by curving screens in cherrywood and treated steel.
