PARIS, FRANCE âSixteen of the worldâs most respected and talented grand chefs will come together in Paris to cook under one roof. And when the roof happens to be Le Grand Trianon in the magical ChĂąteau de Versailles in the Palace of Versailles, outside Paris, France, then it transforms a memorable event into a momentous occasion. This vision will turn into reality when the first Dinner of the Chefs is held on September 17, 2008. It will undoubtedly be a unique opportunity to experience an evening of epicurean pleasures in the sheer, unadulterated luxury of Marie-Antoinetteâs personal retreat, the haven of privacy given to her by Louis XVI in 1774. Only 60 guests are invited to enjoy this ultra-exclusive experience, a banquet of 15 courses in the Salon des Cotelle whose walls will be adorned with fabulous scenes by the eponymous 17th century painter Jean Cotelle. The Dinner of the Chefs will welcome 15 new creations and a selection of the rarest wines. The master chefs enlisted to recreate their finest dishes on the evening read like a âWhoâs Whoâ in the world of haute, cuisine and all are celebrated in the Michelin red book. The net profit of this special event will be donated to the International Foundation for Research on Alzheimer Disease chaired by Dr. Olivier de Ladoucette, alongside their Good Will Ambassador Alain Delon. To compliment such sumptuous surroundings, the table will be provided by some of the greatest names in French design. They have secured the support of famous âMaisons des Arts de la Tableâ to give the best craftsmanship France can provide. Also lending its flair and expertise to the evening is a collaboration of some of the greatest hotels in the world Le Bristol, The Crillon, Four Seasons Hotel George V, The Meurice, The Plaza Athenee and the Trianon Palace & Spa. On arrival at the airport in Paris, all guests will be taken in their own chauffeur-driven limousines to their luxury hotel and then on to the ChĂąteau, where they will be greeted by Jean-Jacques Aillagon, the chairperson of the Domaine de Versailles, and Pierre Arizzoli-Clementel, the Managing Director of Museum and Domaine de Versailles. An exclusive visit to the private estate of Queen Marie-Antoinette is then planned before a cocktail reception under the colonnades of the elegant courtyard. Beyond will be a view of the gardens, illuminated by thousands of candles, flickering in the twilight. As an additional special souvenir, ladies are being offered a specially commissioned SĂšvres breakfast setâa magnificent replica of Marie-Antoinetteâs porcelain mug and saucer. They will also receive an exclusive fragrance of Guerlain, in a monogrammed bottle.

They will also receive a limited edition âDinner of the Chefsâ apron embroidered in golden letters, from the renowned Bragard House. âAs the creator of the Dinner of the Chefs I wanted to create something very special with a selection of the most talented chefs, something rare, dedicated to these magicians who have this power of enchanting our palate. Beyond experience, knowledge and knack, there resides in every Chef the soul of a poet where free spirit prevails over pure logic,â said RenĂ©-Julien Praz, creator and executive producer, Dinner of the Chefs. âThe ultimate cultural ambassador, fine cuisine expresses in a universal manner the degree of perfection and refinement attained by a people. It is the very idea that we seek to convey to you through the Dinner of the Chefs. A never-before gastronomic experience, bringing together almost 40 Michelin stars in order to offer you the best works of these creators and, allow you to participate in the most important of all causes research on Alzheimer Disease.â The Chefs Yannick Alleno, Chef at Hotel Meurice â Paris Yannick Alleno is one of those young chefs in their thirties who bring freshness and daring to their cooking.

Michel and Sebastien Bras, Chefs of Restaurant Bras â Laguiole Michel Bras took his first steps towards becoming a professional cook by tending the stove in his motherâs kitchen at the family run hotel-restaurant, âLou Mazuc.â Unlike most chefs who undergo an apprenticeship before setting out on their own, Michel was largely self-taught and created his own culinary world by drawing on the native tradition of his beloved Aubrac. Opened in 1992, Michel Brasâ restaurant is granted a three star rating by the Michelin Guide seven years later. Built in a very secluded venue, at the top of a hill, the Bras family estate is ingenuously molded in a wild landscape made of stone, greenery and light. Son Sebastien Bras, 36 years old, is also part of the team. âWe get along very well, my father and I,â says Sebastien. âWe do not fear or feel any generation gap. What my father did 20 years ago was very avant-garde and still is today, so we have a lot in common. A culinary symphony to be discovered with your five senses.â Eric FrĂ©chon, Chef of Hotel Bristol â Paris After a studious apprenticeship with Christian Constant at the Crillon Hotel, followed by restaurant Taillevent, Eric FrĂ©chon completed his academic training at restaurant La Tour dâArgent.

The mouth to ear confirms this success story; his style gradually expresses itself through the marriage of great classic French dishes and the most bizarre mixtures. so he says! A liberty, an inventiveness and sheer mischief are the distinctive signs of a young chef who has the talent to propose the best products in order to transform as well as sublimate them.

But it is in the cradle of refinement and fine Parisian taste that Michalak developed his art, at Fauchon followed by the famous LadurĂ©e house. However, his true luxury is above all his talent.

He insures that his foie gras comes from les Landes, his fish from Carantec, his beef from Salers, his potatoes from Chez Clos, etc. His cuisine, which cleverly plays off the savors of the Mediterranean, is classical haute gastronomy but veritably contemporary. Alain Passard, Restaurant LâArpĂšge â Paris Philosopher in the art of observation, Philippe Legendre is the most zen of all chefs and insists on total silence in his kitchen in order to better concentrate. He demands total commitment to the âproductâ from his co-workers. Thatâs where things are born, he says. Each month he works with new ingredients with total precision no room for error or for out-of-season results. If a produce is only at its best for a few days, it wonât stay on his menu any longer than that. By deciding to favor vegetables, even as he arrives at the summit â three stars in the Red Guide â Alain Passard embarks on a new path.

Dimanche 24 avril, Emmanuel Macron a Ă©tĂ©Le dimanche 26 mars 1944, trois bataillons de la 157e division de la Wehrmacht, appuyĂ©s par l'aviation et l'artillerie, prennent d'assaut le plateau des GliĂšres, Ă 1400 mĂštres dâaltitude, en Haute-Savoie, occupĂ© depuis prĂšs de deux mois par un groupe de 450 rĂ©sistants. Cette bataille met fin au premier maquis » de la RĂ©sistance. Son retentissement est immense tant sur les ondes de la BBC, Ă Londres, que sur celles de Radio Paris. Alban Dignat Guerre psychologique Tandis que se rapproche la perspective d'un dĂ©barquement alliĂ© sur les cĂŽtes de la Manche, la RĂ©sistance se met en ordre de bataille. Tom Morel, un lieutenant d'active, constitue un maquis sur le plateau des GliĂšres dĂšs le 31 janvier 1944 pour accueillir les parachutages alliĂ©s et servir de base de repli aux rĂ©sistants. Il rassemble des hommes de toutes origines des combattants de l'ArmĂ©e secrĂšte de la RĂ©sistance, des officiers et sous-officiers des chasseurs alpins, des francs-tireurs et partisans FTP communistes, des rĂ©publicains espagnols et de simples rĂ©fractaires du STO Service du Travail Obligatoire. Ainsi le plateau devient-il le premier territoire mĂ©tropolitain Ă Ă©chapper Ă l'autoritĂ© du gouvernement de Vichy. Celui-ci ne se trompe pas sur la force du symbole et met aussitĂŽt tout le dĂ©partement en Ă©tat de siĂšge. C'est le dĂ©but d'une guerre franco-française. La redoutable Milice de Joseph Darnand, secrĂ©taire d'Ătat au Maintien de l'ordre, fait une rafle Ă ThĂŽnes le 5 fĂ©vrier et, une semaine plus tard, le plateau est encerclĂ© par des supplĂ©tifs de la police de Vichy, les Groupes Mobiles de RĂ©serve GMR. Cela n'empĂȘche pas l'aviation alliĂ©e de larguer 90 tonnes d'armes au-dessus du maquis en trois parachutages, du 14 fĂ©vrier au 10 mars. Le 9 mars, les rĂ©sistants occupent le siĂšge de la Garde mobile Ă Entremont. Dans sa confrontation avec le chef des policiers, le lieutenant Tom Morel est abattu d'une balle Ă bout portant. Les rĂ©sistants se retirent en emmenant avec eux soixante prisonniers. Pour la premiĂšre fois, les Allemands, sollicitĂ©s par Joseph Darnand, se disposent Ă intervenir militairement contre ceux qu'ils appellent les terroristes ». Sur le plateau, les chefs du maquis jugent que leur mission est accomplie et qu'il convient de se retirer avant que le dĂ©gel ne permette aux Allemands de monter. Mais Jean Rosenthal, un agent de Londres envoyĂ© sur place, les convainc de tenir coĂ»te que coĂ»te pour l'honneur de la RĂ©sistance et de la France libre du gĂ©nĂ©ral de Gaulle. Il est vrai que celui-ci a besoin de se valoriser pour ĂȘtre reconnu par ses puissants alliĂ©s anglo-saxons. Fin de partie Le 26 mars 1944, le commandant allemand du secteur envoie deux patrouilles en reconnaissance vers les hauteurs du plateau. L'une d'elles est facilement repoussĂ©e mais l'autre arrive Ă contourner les dĂ©fenses du maquis. Il s'ensuit un bref affrontement durant lequel deux maquisards » sont tuĂ©s et un autre blessĂ©. Les Allemands donnent l'assaut aussitĂŽt aprĂšs, avec le concours de la Milice française. Le capitaine Maurice Anjot, qui a remplacĂ© Tom Morel Ă la tĂȘte du maquis, juge que ses hommes ont tenu les positions assez longtemps et que l'honneur est sauf. Il dĂ©cide dâĂ©vacuer le plateau avec tous ses hommes. Dans la retraite, cependant, 210 rĂ©sistants sont capturĂ©s par lâennemi ou ses alliĂ©s de la Milice ou la police de Vichy. Une centaine sont fusillĂ©s, parfois aprĂšs avoir Ă©tĂ© torturĂ©s. La bataille des GliĂšres » devient un enjeu dans la guerre des ondes que se livrent la France Libre de De Gaulle et le gouvernement collaborationniste de Vichy. Philippe Henriot, le propagandiste de Radio Paris, Ă©voque la liquidation du maquis par la police sans faire Ă©tat de la participation allemande ! De son cĂŽtĂ©, Jean Rosenthal, dans son dĂ©sir de bien faire, tĂ©lĂ©graphie Ă Londres une information selon laquelle 400 Allemands auraient Ă©tĂ© tuĂ©s et 300 blessĂ©s dans les affrontements avec le maquis. Sur Radio Londres, par la voix de Maurice Schumann, on peut encore entendre ceci le 7 avril 1944 Ă GliĂšres, 500 Français ont rĂ©sistĂ© Ă Allemands pendant 14 jours ». Il n'en reste pas moins que le maquis des GliĂšres aura convaincu les chefs alliĂ©s de l'utilitĂ© de la RĂ©sistance française dans leur combat contre le nazisme.

At the Crillon gala, the annual dinner of the Traditions & Qualite trade group, the hot topic was money, which it takes plenty of to patronize most of the hotels and restaurants in the group."I have the reputation of running a very expensive restaurant," acknowledged Claude Terrail, owner of the Tour d'Argent in Paris, "but the truth is that our prices have been relatively constant for the past 10 years."Price has never been an object at his place, which has a breathtaking view of Notre Dame Cathedral across the Seine and is famous for its pressed duck. The management says customers should expect to spend at least $200 to $240 a person, including service but not wine, for a three- or four-course lunch there is an $80 fixed-price menu, which another leading restaurant guide, Gault-Millau France 1996, recommends "unless you have an oil well in your backyard." Mr. Terrail says he loses money on it."I own the building, so rent isn't the problem," Mr. Terrail said. "What people don't realize is the enormous capital it takes to run a restaurant with impeccable standards."I can take 150 customers in the restaurant, but for them I need 110 employees. With 4,500 bottles of wine in the cellar I have to have eight wine stewards, plus four trainees. In France, payroll charges for that kind of staff add up very fast."On top of all this, in July a terrorist bomb went off in an underground commuter train practically right under his restaurant. "Bombs?" he asked with a Claude Rains grin. "What bombs? I'm not well informed; I don't read the newspapers."The biggest bomb in the French restaurant business was set off by the publication last month of the new Gault-Millau guide, which reduced the number of restaurants receiving its top rating from 28 to those demoted was one of the most venerated French chefs, Paul Bocuse, whose restaurant in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or near Lyons was dismissed as "not as superlative as some."Mr. Bocuse brushed off the attack, saying he refused to feel "traumatized," and he still has three stars in the Michelin Haeberlin, chef of the Auberge de l'Ill, said, "What Gault-Millau did to Paul Bocuse makes me sad, but I don't think it can really hurt his reputation."More of a setback to restaurants like Mr. Haeberlin's, in a village 35 miles from Strasbourg, was a Government road-safety measure reducing the permissible blood-alcohol content level from to milligrams of alcohol .0175 ounces per liter 34 fluid ounces of blood, about what two glasses of wine will do to most people."The average check at our restaurant went down right away," Mr. Haeberlin said, to about $145 a at these prices, French restaurateurs find themselves in a profit squeeze. With crystal wine glasses costing a minimum of $20 apiece and little silver saltcellars as much as $240, and scores of cooks and waiters required to provide the kind of service that people expect for their fistfuls of money, the restaurant business is not as profitable as it used to been even less so since last summer, when the Government raised the value added tax from percent to percent. Rather than pass it on to customers, many restaurants absorbed result, at places like Bernard Loiseau's La Cote d'Or in the Burgundy village of Saulieu, is that an entree like his frogs' legs in garlic puree with parsley juice, $60 on the menu, now brings in only $ in profit, he told a television interviewer the other day."I don't make any money on the restaurant," he said. "Nothing is precooked, nothing is prepackaged, and it all takes a tremendous amount of labor and personnel."Mr. Loiseau said he made more money out of the small luxury inn attached to his in Paris, many top restaurateurs have taken to opening branches where entrees are less expensive and more profitable. Jacques Cagna, whose Michelin two-star restaurant on the Left Bank serves meals that can cost $125 a person, runs across the street most evenings to greet guests at his Rotisserie d'en Face, where a whole three-course menu goes for less than $40. He owns two other more moderately priced restaurants."You have to try to meet your customers halfway," Mr. Terrail said with a grin. nCwNf. 120 335 407 356 342 471 218 206 47
