Last night Patrick Benhamou of the French Tourist Board hosted a typically Parisian extravaganza at the Sydney Opera House. The event was sponsored by top Paris hotel Le Bristol as well as Air France and Vittoria (described by Benhamou as “a formidable menage-a-trois”), and included a gourmet meal prepared by Le Bristol’s celebrity chef, Eric Frechon, who holds three coveted Michelin stars. The family-owned Le Bristol is ideally located near the Champs Elysee – a perfect location for French President Nicolas Sarkozy who often pops in for a quick bite – and clientele also include such luminaries as movie star George Clooney, not to mention Australia’s own Hugh Jackman. Last night’s gourmet gala also included a footwear fashion parade from French designer Louboutin, with Benhamou pictured above working hard examining the merchandise after telling TD “I’m forced to do it for my country.” new.traveldaily.com.au |
