Gourmet Bistros And Restaurants Of Paris

The inimitable Jacques Garcia is an internationally-acclaimed interior designer whose work ranges from private residences to museums to upscale hotels from New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Miami to Geneva, Brussels, and Beirut. While Garcia draws inspiration from neoclassical and oriental sources, his passion and genius lie in his unique blending of textures, patterns, colors, and styles. In Paris, crowds flock to his chic Hotel Costes, Laduree tearoom, and fin-de-siecle brasseries and salons; he redesigned the Musee Carnavalet, the Musee de la Vie Romantique, and Hotel Mansart, which was originally designed by an architect of Versailles. This revised edition of the 1999 volume has been updated to include gorgeous color details of Garcia's unique approach to interior design, and his renovation of the chateau Champ de Bataille in Normandy, and its magnificent gardens design by Le Notre, and seen here for the first time, which attracts visitors from across the globe and has become a monument to his highly original style.
