“ The Paradis du Fruit,
It is before anything else fruit and people,
Fruits: big, small, yellow, orange, red…
Vitamins, minerals…
We cannot be exhaustive with fruits, they are too vast, too good and very good too.
But the people.
Without the people from the Paradis, the fruit would only be fruit.
At the Paradis, with fruits, the people are not even people anymore. They are angels, geniuses, artists.
Unique, they search, pick, mix, press, blend, decant, infuse,
With talent, gift and vocation.
Without them, fruit would be less.
These angels are our messengers of the fruits.
Thank you and even more”

“Le Royal Monceau has nothing to do once again, with the architecture or the decoration, it has to do with an exploration. The exploration of what is, of what should, of what could be the French spirit. Our strengths, our faults, that poetry, that romanticism, that reflection, those high-level critical spirits that kill or that qualify. The creation of a mental space in a place that replaces decoration; where there’s the mind instead of aesthetics, literature instead of style. Creating a full space; of a life, of a memory, of a passage as if the air were vibrated by music, as if the air was palpable because of a perfume, as if the air of a room became legible through the evocation of the spirit of a person who lived there and who would have left his souvenirs, his gifts, his memoirs."

“It is a sort of Alice in Wonderland, a place of awoken dream. Nothing is real, everything is illusion. For a lot of people life is not very fun, it is too realistic. When you enter in the Cristal Room Baccarat in Moscow, nothing is realistic: all over there is poetry, everything is coming from somewhere else.” Ph.S
