An episode from the series CHAMPS ELYSEES, THE AVENUE OF A THOUSAND SECRETS

Synopsis

The famous brasserie Le Fouquet's celebrates its 120th anniversary. The Maître d' knows many anecdotes about stars from all over the world and tells us how the biggest movie night of the year is being organized after the Césars awards ceremony.

At the Pavillon Ledoyen, the chef Yannick Alleno, 3 stars in the Michelin Guide, takes us into the kitchen to demonstrate what it takes to do French gastronomy.

The Hôtel de la Païva is the only private mansion still standing on the Champs Elysées. This sultry former courtesan's house was bought in 1900 by a secret gentlemen club, the Travellers Club.
