Pic Chic at Le Royal Monceau

Summer 2015 at Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris is all about
Le Pic-Chic Veuve Clicquot
(May 2015): The elegance and sophistication of the French ‘art de vivre’ is alive and well this summer,
thanks to Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, the epitome of the modern palace hotel and Veuve Clicquot
Ponsardin, one of France’s finest champagne houses.
In one exquisite basket, Le Pic-Chic Veuve Clicquot - possibly the most stylish picnic ever - will be
available to order 24 hours in advance from May to September.
Laurent André, Le Royal Monceau’s talented Executive Chef, has reinterpreted traditional picnic recipes
with fine ingredients. The menu for this delightful gastronomic déjeuner sur l’herbe, at just at €240 for two,
is as indulgent as one would expect….
Cream of green asparagus soup
Cold beef filet, Parisian green bean salad, black truffle mustard
Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris’ legendary club sandwich: free range chicken, Emmental cheese,
tomatoes, salad, eggs, mayonnaise
Gariguette strawberries and raspberries with sugar

The perfect setting for such a fabulous al fresco treat is just a short stroll from the hotel: the Park
Monceau is a well-kept secret, much loved by locals, 20 enchanting acres of magical green privacy, laid out
in 1778 in an informal ‘English style’ with curved walkways, a collection of architectural follies - an Egyptian
pyramid, a Chinese fort, Corinthian pillars - and statues of famous French figures.
Pic-Chic Veuve Clicquot: 240€ for two
Available for take-away (purchase order 24h in advance)
Pic-Chic basket is graciously included for all reservations in Suite (minimum stay of 2 nights)

NOTE TO EDITORS
LE ROYAL MONCEAU – RAFFLES PARIS reopened in 2010 as the most exciting 5-star luxury hotel in the City of
Lights, after a dramatic and complete two-year transformation by designer Philippe Starck. The hotel has 149
luxurious rooms and suites and is just minutes from the Arc-de-Triomphe and the Champs-Elysées in Paris' 8th
arrondissement. At Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, art is omnipresent, with an exclusive service of Art Concierge,
an Art Bookstore, a private Art Gallery, a 99-seat cinema theatre and an impressive private art collection. Food and
drink are an art form here too – from the buzz of the Long Bar on the ground floor, to the two restaurants, ‘La Cuisine’
for gourmet French cuisine and ‘Il Carpaccio’ Michelin-star Italian restaurant. Not to be missed are the delicious
pastries, macarons and chocolates by Pierre Hermé, considered by Vogue magazine as the ‘Picasso of pastry’. Art,
decoration, design and a fashionable selection: Le Royal Eclaireur is an exclusive destination. The 1,500sqm Spa My
Blend by Clarins is an award-winning white paradise, with the longest swimming pool in a Paris hotel.
