Pavillon Gabriel

Amidst the rustling leaves of the Champs-Élysées gardens stands Pavillon Gabriel. It beckons with an air of elegance and a history as vibrant as the city itself. Pavillon Gabriel isn’t just a building. It’s a Parisian experience, a testament to history, and a stage for countless stories. The Pavillon Gabriel has seen a remarkable transformation since its renovation in 2018. The architects embraced a triple vision: glass and transparency reminiscent of grand greenhouses, lush greenery that seamlessly blends with the Champs-Élysées gardens, and a renewed appreciation for its historical heritage. Originally, this very spot housed the Alcazar d’été, an open-air entertainment venue in the 1930s. Parisians flocked here to revel in the lively atmosphere. The spirit of the Alcazar d’été lives on, inspiring the current design. Imagine stepping into the vast Alcazar salon, bathed in natural light filtering through a gigantic glass roof, supported by an Eiffel-like structure that soars over eight meters high. This impressive space can accommodate up to 550 seated guests or 800 standing. Picture the grandeur of monumental glass panels on the sides, opening onto the Champs-Élysées gardens and the verdant façade of the building. In winter, a covered, tree-lined terrace extends the salon’s charm. Pavillon Gabriel also boasts other stunning spaces like the Elysée Salon, with its own terrace, and the Gabriel and Concorde salons, both equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Tucked beneath the main pavilion, you’ll discover the Studio Gabriel. This versatile space has hosted countless television productions, including Michel Drucker’s shows since 1983. Drucker himself considers himself part of the Pavillon Gabriel family. He even played a key role in ensuring that Potel et Chabot, the luxury caterer, retained the management of this iconic venue. Pavillon Gabriel stands as a timeless icon in the heart of Paris. It offers an unforgettable blend of history, elegance, and modern sophistication.
