Fouquet’s Barrière Hotel by Edouard François
French architect and landscape designer Edouard François was encharged of the renovation and façade design of the Fouquet’s Barrière Hotel in Paris, which is located in one block facing Avenue des Champs Elysées. The architect mission was the general plan of the whole hotel, including courtyards, administration offices and a spa service, spread on different plots of the “golden triangle”, and the design of new facades for extensions. The surrounding area is the most elegant and expensive of the whole metropolis, and very significant in terms of architecture and relation with the context.
