café de l'alma
Inspired by Jeanne Boudon, her vivacity, her youth, and a perspective shaped by London and New York brasseries Gilles&Boissier envision a Parisian brasserie that is both free-spirited and contemporary. A dynamic, warm and richly layered place, with the feel of a revisited English cottage, where the Parisian spirit meets a distinctly vibrant urban energy.

From the outside, the light façade with its small-paned windows evokes the intimacy of a British club.
On the ground floor, the space unfolds and winds like a ribbon around a “Milanese-style” bar, with a series of intimate banquettes and tables. Materials interact through a play of contrasts: Burgundy stone, Ceppo di Gré, zellige tiles, white wood panelling and reinterpreted floral chintz fabrics.
A generous opening connects the ground floor to the upper level, where the atmosphere becomes even more liberated: a leopard carpet inspired by Madeleine Castaing, tropical fabrics and a small lounge wrapped in a deliberately classic-style wallpaper.
Here, Alma playfully revisits traditional codes to create a Parisian brasserie that is at once elegant, lively and distinctly contemporary.

"As the captain of a ship that sails the world’s oceans and docks at ports across a wide variety of continents, Captain Jeanne has a playful take on the traditions of the Parisian brasserie. And so do we."
