007 Restaurant: Le Jules Verne in Eiffel Tower

RESTAURANT LE JULES VERNE

Location: Paris, France

Address: Eiffel Tower, Avenue Gustave Eiffel
Bond film appearance: A View to a Kill (1985)
Visited by 007 Travelers: 2013


Alain Ducasse and the Jules Verne

"A restaurant at the very centre of the Eiffel Tower was a dream I held close to my heart. Even today, at every one of my visits, I feel the same emotion when I begin the climb to the second floor. This intense joy is one that I wish to share, while striving to ensure that a moment spent at the Jules Verne is forever etched into the memory of those who have lived it. Much more than a restaurant, this place is conductive to dreams and wonderful memories..."

The place

A contemporary and elegant space created by interior designer Patrick Jouin. In daytime, natural light pours throughout the restaurant.
In the evening, the atmosphere becomes more muted, more sensual. He explains: "I imagined a whole range of emotions composed of a number of intense moments and a decor that awakens a sense of escapism, using contemporary techniques."
