A candlelit dinner experience in the heart of Paris
As night falls on Place de la Madeleine, the Grand Café Fauchon transforms into a cozy setting where natural light gradually gives way to the flickering of candles.
During Earth Hour, the restaurant's lighting is deliberately reduced to create an atmosphere lit entirely by candlelight. This soft lighting reveals the elegance of the place in a different way and invites guests to enjoy a moment suspended in time, far from the usual pace of the city.
In this peaceful atmosphere, the senses are awakened in a different way: the discreet clinking of glasses, attentive service, and the delicate aromas of the dishes contribute to an immersive experience, ideal for a romantic evening in Paris or a special celebration.

Earth Hour in Paris: a socially conscious dining experience
Initiated by the WWF, Earth Hour is a global campaign inviting cities, institutions, and establishments to symbolically reduce their energy consumption for one hour in order to raise awareness about environmental protection.
By participating in this international initiative, Fauchon L’Hôtel Paris offers an experience where gastronomy and commitment come together naturally. The candlelit dinner thus becomes an invitation to slow down, rediscover the beauty of a shared moment, and appreciate the simplicity of a candlelit moment.
This approach is part of a broader initiative by the establishment, which strives to combine hospitality, pleasure, and environmental awareness.
