Paris is Always a Good Idea! Do you ever need an excuse to visit the City of Light?

In addition, cap off the exhibit with an elegant swoon worthy lunch or dinner at the new Paris Pop-up ADMO*.  For 100 days from 10th November onward, two of the most influential chefs in the world will join together at an exceptional event of 100 days of Lunches and Dinners. The Hosts? Legendary chefs Alain Ducasse, Albert Adrià, and French chef Romain Meder.

The exhibition of the Morozov Collection has taken over the entire galleries of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, presenting the masterpieces from the collection of the brothers Mikhaïl Abramovitch Morozov (1870-1903) and Ivan Abramovitch Morozov (1871-1921). The great early 20th century Muscovite patrons and collectors assembled one of the most exceptional collections of French modern art including Matisse, Bonnard, Picasso, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Degas, Monet, Renoir, Denis, Cézanne, and Russian modern artists Vrubel, Malevich, Repin, Larionov, Serov. I attended the initial Icons of Art a few years ago and cannot wait to visit this exhibition. Tickets are timed and on line now.

Mosey from the museum and dine at this exceptional gastronomic event. The experimental restaurant project, named ADMO*, in recognition of the three chefs fronting the project, Albert Adrià, Alain Ducasse, and French chef Romain Meder from Plaza Athénée, who has worked alongside Ducasse for many years. The project will be hosted at the rooftop restaurant Les Ombres, at Quai Branly Jacques Chirac Museum in Paris. Dinner is seven courses, lunch is five courses, offered without beverages.

Award winning French pastry chef Jessica Prealpato, who honed her signature style working with Ducasse since 2015, will also play an essential role in the ADMO* project, complementing the trio with her natural fruit desserts.

Both a collaborative platform for imagining a conscious cuisine and an immersive experience, ADMO will celebrate committed gastronomy in Paris.

From Adrià’s Instagram: “the menu will celebrate the unprecedented encounter between the Spanish and French cuisines reunited by the same conscious and sustainable approach.
Get ready for a strong, vibrant and joyful experience.”

If your safe deposit box contains ancient Gold Napoleon Francs, it would be appropriate to cash them. If not, tote your Euros, this extraordinary dining event is très, très cher, when Legends gather, it’s time to toss money to the wind. We’ve reserved six seats for the roof top dinner with a divine view of the glittering Eiffel Tower. And of course, we know the best hotels in Paris!
