Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris

Discussing the Louis XV inevitably brings Alain Ducasse into the conversation, a chef whose influence necessitates a myriad of superlatives. Originating from Orthez in the southwest of France, Ducasse’s passion for the Mediterranean has made him a luminous figure in both the culinary and business worlds. Now a Monaco resident, he oversees an impressive portfolio of over 30 establishments spanning every continent. At the young age of 33, he was honored with three Michelin stars at the Louis XV, achieving an extraordinary level of culinary excellence. His renowned “Jardins de Provence” vegetable-based menu, introduced in Monaco on May 27, 1987, has been a cornerstone of French culinary heritage for over three decades. Today, Alain Ducasse’s distinctive approach is vividly expressed through the skilled hands of his trusted lieutenant, Emmanuel Pilon, offering dishes that artfully capture the purity of their ingredients and the spirit of the Mediterranean.
