PAX L'UX. One iconic house, one chef, one table.

The collection

Kairos

In Greek, kairos is the right moment, the one that does not come round again.

The houses

Villas, palaces and historic houses.

Each is chosen for its architectural character, its history, and the atmosphere it alone can create. Over the years, these houses have welcomed artists, writers and some of the most influential figures of their time. In recent years, some have opened only for exceptional private meetings hosted by the President of the French Republic.

The chef

Each occasion is conceived in dialogue with the place.

It is entrusted to a rising, Michelin-starred chef, chosen for the singularity of his cuisine, his inventiveness, and his desire to create a menu for that occasion alone.

The cuisine responds to the architecture and history of the house. The wines are selected with the same care, in precise harmony with what is served.

What it is not

This is not a great restaurant moved into another setting.

It is an encounter between a place, a chef and a small circle of guests, conceived for one occasion and impossible to reproduce elsewhere.

What happens at these tables, and who is at them, is never published.

Private access

The places, chefs and dates are shared privately. Access is provided to our guests and trusted partners.
