The red awning stretched across the corner of the Champs-Élysées and Avenue George V marks Brasserie Fouquet's. Louis Fouquet opened this spot in eighteen ninety-nine as a luxury bistro. Actors and writers frequented the tables, making it a fixture of Parisian nightlife. In nineteen seventy-five, a French committee officially named the brasserie a historical monument. The interior still features the same velvet-backed chairs and wood paneling that welcomed guests a century ago, maintaining the original atmosphere despite decades of changing ownership.
