Céleste is the name of the incredible ephemeral bar that transports us to the skies above Paris. Set up on the rooftop of the Cheval Blanc until the end of March, it's the ideal place to enjoy one of the most beautiful views of Paris in the middle of winter, while keeping warm with a lovely menu featuring spirits, creative cocktails and Japanese dishes imagined by chef Takuya Watanabe.

Fancy an enchanted interlude for an evening? We're off to discover Céleste, the ephemeral bar that has set up shop on the 10ᵉ floor of the Cheval Blanc Paris. Accessible from 6:00 pm to 11:30 pm by reservationuntil March 31, 2024, the venue offers us an incredible view over the whole of Paris to enjoy the City of Light for an evening.

Céleste is made up of two parts: one revealing a long bar with high tables, under a transparent glass roof, and the other, a translucent bubble, like a crystal dome. On arrival, the effect is striking. The dome is so unobtrusive that you really feel you're outside. Unlike some plasticized, inflated domes, the Cheval Blanc's is virtually invisible. It's like having a drink on a rooftop in the open air, but in a cocoon of warmth.

There are barely 30 seats to make you feel privileged. Comfortable armchairs and sofas offer the perfect setting for a drink and some Japanese finger food. The menu offers a range of rare spirits, finely selected by the house. In addition, there are creative cocktails, with or without alcohol.

Le Céleste offers us a selection of temakis and gunkans signed by chef Takuya Watanabe, the starred Japanese chef of Jin and Kaito restaurant and soon of the Japanese restaurant to be set up on the first floor of the hotel. Lobster, mango, toro or trout tamaki and hazelnut caviar, vegetable and trout roe gunkans are elegant accompaniments to the cocktails. You'll spend a delicious moment admiring the Seine, Notre Dame de Paris under reconstruction and the Eiffel Tower glittering from time to time.
