Get an inside look at the redesign of the famed restaurant located on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
PARIS — It’s quite fitting that a woman was chosen to redesign the famous restaurant of the “Iron Lady.”
“There were a lot of women involved in this project,” continues the architect, speaking during a private visit of the just-finished Jules Verne, which is due to open on July 20 after six months of renovation. “It’s not always easy to be a woman in this field. But I feel perseverance is a very feminine trait: Once the machine starts, you can’t get it to stop. I hope this project triggers something within women architects, decorators and artists, and encourages them to never give up.
All the furniture was made to measure for Jules Verne and exclusively by French artisans, aside from the five stunning main tables that were crafted by a marble specialist in Venice.
Succeeding Alain Ducasse at the Jules Verne, Chef Anton will hold his position for a duration of 10 years, as part of a contract operated between the Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel and Umanis, a partnership between Anton; Thierry Marx — who oversees the Eiffel Tower’s brasserie on the first level of the tower; French food services group Sodexo, and tech start-up Ubudu. The restaurant aims to boost its number of clients by 40 percent in the next 10 years.
“I got stuck in the elevator for 25 minutes the other day,” Anton reminisces about the construction days, back when the team had to use the service elevator . “And I’ve had to use the stairs a couple of times. But that’s just the Eiffel Tower for you — she’s been around for 130 years, you just have to live with it.”
