The Pavillon Élysée was the scene of a grandiose evening to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Hotel et préférence group. The theme of the evening was "Louis XIV Grand Siècle", and the guests all lent themselves to the game, sporting period outfits worthy of the finest cloak-and-dagger films. Among the celebrities in attendance were Arnaud Ducret, Bruno Solo, Virginie Ledoyen, Frédérique Bel, Mallory Gabsi, Nicolas Dubois and Yannick Gavel. The evening was punctuated by entertainment worthy of Versailles, with male and female dancers performing baroque dance steps to period music. Guests were also treated to refined dishes concocted by the hotel's chefs, and the highlight of the evening was a performance by the theater troupe, who staged a play by Molière in the hotel's main salon. Guests were transported into the world of the Grand Siècle and immersed in the atmosphere of the era. All in all, this anniversary evening for the Hotel et préférence group will be remembered as one of the most memorable events of the year, a true invitation to travel back in time and let yourself be carried away by the magic of the Grand Siècle. © Photo credit: Rachid Bellak
