Drouant

Drouant (French pronunciation: [dʁuɑ̃]) is a well-known restaurant located in the Palais Garnier neighborhood in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, France.

At the turn of the century, it gained popularity thanks to its fresh oysters delivered by Drouant's brother-in-law, who farmed them in Brittany.

[1] The latter sold the restaurant to Robert Pascal, a bougnat from Aveyron who had been working at Drouant for forty years.

The ground floor designed by architect Pascal Desprez has a light setting inspired by the Neoclassical style.

In 2014, quotes of each of the 10 jury members of the Prix Goncourt were written on the inner walls of the restaurant as a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the award.
