Champagne, cake & literature : Nicolas d’Estienne d’Orves

Indulge in an afternoon blending literature and gourmet delights in the intimate and warm ambiance of the Bar des Maillets d’Argent. On December 14th, delve into the latest novel by journalist and author Nicolas d’Estienne d’Orves as he reads excerpts from his book “Arletty, un cœur libre”. Among his many passions are the history of French cinema, music halls, Parisian theater, the interwar period, and the artistic life under the Occupation. Arletty stands at the crossroads of these worlds. Her character, though real, is strikingly novelistic.

“Arletty is modern in her freedom of speech, choices, spirit, and body. At a time when French society was bound by countless constraints, she openly embraced her private life with a courage that was sometimes almost reckless. Arletty always prioritized her liberty and femininity above all else,” says the author.

This is a moment not to be missed for lovers of fine literature and gourmet indulgence. During the event, you’ll enjoy a pastry created by our Pastry Chef, Mourad Timsih, paired with a glass of our exclusive Tour d’Argent Champagne.
