Acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Jean-François Piège takes the helm of the signature restaurant in the historic Hôtel de la Marine.

Piège worked under Alain Ducasse throughout the 1990s, before opening his own Paris restaurants to critical acclaim, including being awarded two Michelin stars at his eponymous restaurant in the 8th. In addition, Piège also owns the stylish eatery Clover, popular steak house Clover Grill as well as the storied and iconic bistro - La Poule au Pot. The chef is best known for his luxurious, yet playful modern French cuisine - rooted in classical French technique. An ode to fine French regional products - the dishes take inspiration from the South of France. Eggs mimosa topped with bottarga, summer vegetables in tempura, grilled lobster accompanied by crunchy fries and homemade Italian ice cream.

Commissioned by King Louis XV and designed by the royal architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel between 1758 and 1770, the Hôtel de la Marine on the Place de la Concorde is one of the architectural jewels of 18th-century Paris. The building has undergone a €100 million renovation - showcasing the French “art de vivre.” The space is decked out with a celadon-colored carpet, ceramic wall lights and XXL mahogany chandeliers - inspired by atmosphere of the Riviera.
