AN AFTERNOON TEA INSPIRED BY HIGH JEWELLERY
The Peninsula Paris x Chaumet – A Celebration of Nature and Craftsmanship
This summer, The Peninsula Paris and Maison Chaumet unite their shared appreciation for nature, elegance, and artistry through a special Afternoon Tea inspired by Chaumet’s iconic Bee collection. Designed by Pastry Chef Anne Coruble, the menu features a delicate interplay of floral flavours, layered textures, and subtle honeyed notes—paying tribute to both the symbolism of bees in Chaumet’s designs and the hotel’s own rooftop hives.
Served daily in the refined surrounds of Le Lobby, the menu is available in Classic (€95) and Prestige (€115 with Champagne) options, offering a poetic tasting experience that bridges haute joaillerie and haute pâtisserie.
Available daily from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM until 30 August 2025.
