Last March, Karl Lagerfeld reimagined the Grand Palais as a Parisian style cafe to show off his ready-to-wear collections.

Its restaurant, Beige Alain Ducasse Tokyo, manages to revive the Parisian chic and the brand’s essence. French cuisine with Japanese ingredients, a must for foodies. Photo: Chanel
