At Hotel de L’Alpage, our commitment to uncompromising hospitality extends to every facet of your stay, including the exquisite dining experience at our in-house restaurant, Le Jardin. In our pursuit of perfection, we have meticulously selected Haviland as the provider of all utensils used in our restaurant. Renowned for its unparalleled quality and esteemed reputation, Haviland stands as the symbol of refinement and luxury, gracing the tables of esteemed establishments such as The Ritz, The Dorchester collection, and Hotel Shangri-La to name a few.
Established in 1842 by the visionary American entrepreneur, David Haviland, in the artisan town of Limoges, France, Haviland quickly rose to prominence during the golden age of industrialization. Situated approximately 400 kilometers from Paris, Limoges boasts a rich heritage as a hub for renowned porcelain and fine china manufacturers. Through strategic exports to cosmopolitan centers like Paris, London, and New York, Haviland swiftly garnered international acclaim, facilitated by its founder’s transatlantic connections.
Today, Haviland continues to epitomize innovation and design, seamlessly blending timeless elegance with contemporary sensibilities. Inspired by diverse themes, each collection captivates with its vibrancy and evocative aesthetics, reflecting the spirit of the era in which it is crafted.
Belle Epoque
For Le Jardin, we have chosen the enchanting ‘Belle Epoque‘ collection, drawing inspiration from the opulence of the 19th century. Adorned with matte platinum engravings reminiscent of the Industrial Revolution, this collection exudes an air of sophistication and refinement, paying homage to a bygone era when the French Empire flourished. Aptly named ‘Belle Epoque,’ or ‘the beautiful era,’ this design choice elevates the dining experience, adding an extra layer of charm and allure.
We hope that the undeniable beauty of Haviland porcelain further enhances every moment of your dining experience at Le Jardin, ensuring that your time with us is nothing short of unforgettable.
