Fouquet's Paris is a historic high-end brasserie restaurant in Paris, France. It is located at 99 Avenue des Champs-Élysées and is part of Hotel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris. The menu, designed in collaboration with Chef Pierre Gagnaire, continues the tradition of classic French cuisine, including Fouquet's beef tartare, sole meunière, Simmental beef fillet with Champs-Elysées sauce. The brasserie is famous for its red awnings on the Champs-Elysées, which spread over the two terrasses on the Champs-Elysées and George V avenues. For decades, Fouquet's Paris has been a place where people from the Culture industry would meet. It has strong ties with the Cinema, and hosts every year the traditional Gala dinner after the César ceremony. The restaurant is listed as a historical French monument since 1990 (Inventaire des Monuments Historiques). The historical decor includes mahogany woodpanelling by Jean Royere, Harcourt portraits of notable actors and actresses, and discrete brass plaques which indicate the favourite tables of famous people. Most frequent guests own their silver napkin rings with their name engraved on it. Although the name of the restaurant's founder, [Louis] Fouquet, is pronounced in the standard French way, rhyming with "bouquet", the restaurant name is pronounced with a hard "t" and "s", rhyming with the English word "nets".

Hôtel de Langeac
Hôtel de Langeac

The Hôtel de Langeac was a residence in Paris, France, located at 92, Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the corner of the Champs-Élysées and the rue de Berri.The property was first purchased by Louis-Phélypeaux de La Vrillière, Comte de Saint-Florentin, later the Duc de La Vrillière, for his mistress, the Marquise de Langeac. Construction on the home began in 1768 and proceeded slowly, parly due to an interruption. In 1777, the Comte D'Artois obtained the property but in 1778 the Comte de Langeac (son of the Marquise) regained the property and work again started to finally complete the building. The two-story house had a neo-classical facade and an asymmetrical interior plan with two parallel sets of rooms.The Hôtel de Langeac may have been best known as the (rented) residence of Thomas Jefferson while he was the American Minister to France, from 1785 to 1789. "I have at length procured a house in a situation much more pleasing to me than my present", he wrote in September, 1785. Jefferson grew Indian corn in the garden of the house. He filled the house with neoclassical furniture and employed a household staff of seven or eight servants, including a coachman, footman, and valet. Much of his official business was conducted from the house. Jefferson returned to the U.S. in September 1789 and his belongings were shipped to him in Philadelphia. The building was seized during the French Revolution, sold in 1793 and demolished in 1842. The subsequent five-story building on the site houses businesses, including the co-working offices operated by WeWork and a Morgan boutique.
