The partnership between world-renowned pastry chef Pierre Hermé and L'Occitane en Provence is one for the ages. In 2015, Hermé—named World's Best Pastry Chef in 2016—collaborated with the iconic Provençal brand on a luxurious fragrance collection: Honey, Immortelle & Mandarin; Jasmine, Immortelle & Neroli; and Grapefruit & Rhubarb. These were housed in elegant containers designed by L'Occitane founder Olivier Baussan. Now, the duo brings their magic to 86Champs at 86 Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Opened December 8, 2017, this gem is a must-visit for discerning travelers.
Patisserie meets premium skincare at 86Champs, creating an unforgettable tearoom for gourmets, design lovers, and luxury seekers alike. From breakfast through cocktails, enjoy Hermé's masterful sweets—macarons, chocolates, mille-feuilles, and icons like Ispahan or Mogador—or savory delights such as Comté croque-monsieur and omelettes. Unwind on plush banquettes or the lush terrace.
The heart of the space, the Dessert Bar, lets you watch pastry chefs in action and see L'Occitane creams and oils being crafted. A perfume organ and cream bar invite hands-on discovery of their scents and textures. Beverages steal the show with three coffee varietals in 16 tasting formats, plus innovative drinkable desserts. Pure bliss!
