Crashing a private evening at the Bristol bar

Thursday the 15th of September, a “Speakeasy” venue is underway at the Bristol in its festive and mundane bar (Natalia Vodianova and trendy night owls have their small habits there). Theme of the evening? The Gatsby spirit in “Prohibition” and “Roaring Twenties” mode. How to gain access there? Just be aware of the secret and show up at the back door entrance near the parking on 106 rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré. And if you played the game of the evening theme, by arriving decked out with a few feathers, a fringed dress or a pretty chic costume from the Twenties: you will be offered a free cocktail at the bar. Isn’t life just dandy ?

Speakeasy Evening on Thursday the 15th of September from 7pm to 2am at the Bar du Bristol. Back entrance through the parking mandatory... at 106 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. www.lebristolparis.com

Until now, the official hairdresser of Catherine Deneuve and VIP, hosted the fashion and mundane set very confidentially, in an ultra select suite of the Meurice. But that was before.

Test them right there for free. The deal? Your shampoo is free, but you have to manage your own blow dry…Shhhh it’s a secret.
