Baccarat celebrates 250 sparkling years
We adore beautiful things here at Hotel Cristal Champs Elysees, and as our name and décor would suggest, crystal is one of our all-time favourites. Nobody does crystal quite as well as Baccarat, and this world famous brand will celebrate 250 years with an exclusive retrospective at the Baccarat Museum till January 24th 2015, and at the Petit Palais from October 15th 2014 till January 4th 2015.
First Baccarat retrospective in France at the Petit Palais in Paris
Founded in 1764, Baccarat has evolved into one of the most famous luxury brands in the world, and continues to combine ancestral know-how with unique and innovative design in the creation of magnificent pieces that are destined to become collector’s items.
As a celebration of 250 amazing years, Maison Baccarat will present a selection of over 300 pieces from its manufacturing plant in Lorraine, complemented by prestigious items on loan from the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, the museums of Nancy and many others. This will be the first Baccarat retrospective in France since 1964, and certainly an event that you won’t want to miss.
Maison Baccarat’s Museum-Gallery and restaurant
Enhance your Baccarat Crystal Treasures experience with a visit to the Maison Baccarat showrooms and a fine meal at Cristal Rooms Baccarat. Maison Baccarat is a magnificent renovated 18th century townhouse filled with sensational pieces from the past as well as from the current collections. Be sure to see the stunning red accent pieces which have been created in the brand’s signature colour specifically for the 250th anniversary.
On the first floor, the “Cristal Room Baccarat” reflects the luxurious and select nature of the brand beautifully. It’s a truly superb setting where Philippe Starck has re-created the private rooms of Marie-Laure de Noailles, and where Michelin starred Chef Guy Martin and his team offer a fabulous menu of delicious gourmet cuisine and fine wines.
