While in recent years the splendour of the establishment seemed to have faded, a reopening could restore the reputation of Maxim’s, whose existence is an integral part of the capital’s history.<\/h4>\n

It all began in 1893. The waiter Maxime Gaillard, who had been working in a nearby bar, and his friend Georges Everaert founded the ice-cream parlour \u201cMaxim\u2019s and Georg\u2019s\u201d under an initial name. A few days after its inauguration, the courtesan and actress Irma de Montigny, accompanied by Arnold de Contades, walked through the doors of this English-style establishment. They were the first of a large number of chic socialites to frequent what the restaurant described on its website as\u00a0\u201ca gallant meeting place of the Belle \u00c9poque\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The restaurant was taken over shortly afterwards by Eug\u00e8ne Cornuch\u00e9, who refurbished it in an Art Nouveau style, with mirrors, bronze and leather ornaments, mahogany wood and a piano, and called on the services of courtesans. This world attracted the likes of Jean Cocteau, Marcel Proust and Jean Bugatti. Octave Vaudable took over the establishment in 1932 and\u00a0introduced ever more elegant standards.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maxim\u2019s continued to rise over the years, welcoming such celebrities as Maria Callas, Brigitte Bardot, Marlene Dietrich and Barbara Streisand. Now the trendiest and most exclusive restaurant in the world under the aegis of Octave Vaudable\u2019s son, it is the\u00a0quintessence of Parisian chic.<\/strong><\/p>\n
