The illuminations of the Champs-Élysées 2024 from Laurier chef Mavrommatis' restaurant - Invitations

As the magic of Christmas gradually takes hold in Paris, the capital is decked out in a thousand shimmering colors. This Sunday, November 24, 2024, we're taking a front-row seat to the traditional illuminations on the Champs-Élysées! Yes, this year, the most beautiful avenue in the world is getting ready to sparkle with a thousand lights, and we're offering you the chance to watch this magnificent spectacle while enjoying a delicious Greek menu concocted by the teams of Chef Andréa Mavrommatis at Laurier.

For a Hellenic and Mediterranean gastronomic getaway without even leaving Paris, head for the Champs-Élysées and, more specifically, Galeries Lafayette. Here, chef Andréas Mavrommatis has opened Laurier, a restaurant and tea room which, as in his previous addresses, features Greek cuisine.

On the plates, Laurier revisits the great classics of this ancestral culinary tradition. The menu, which is regularly renewed, gives pride of place to seasonal produce. What's more, as a guarantee of quality, all the products used are of Greek origin, with the exception of fresh produce - meat, fish, fruit and vegetables.
