La Grande Verrière restaurant designed by Christian Ghion
La Grande Verrière
October 4, 2011
Christian Ghion has been busy in the Bois de Boulogne, revamping the glass-walled Grand Pavillon of the Jardin d’Acclimatation, an upmarket children’s playground, into La Grande Verrière restaurant. Offering both adult and kid-friendly menus overseen by three-star chef Christian Le Squer, the airy, vaulted 5,000-sq-ft room has attractive white Corian tables (a contemporary nod to the white table linens of yore) and pale green vegetal pillars in expandable “millefeuille” layers that allow different configurations. The large outdoor terrace is a perfect place to bask in an Indian summer sun.
Jardin d’Acclimatation, Bois de Boulogne, 16th. Métro: Sablons. 01.45.02.09.32
