Traditional and contemporary meet for lunch

This restaurant in Orléans has one of the most inventive designs I have ever seen.  While ultra-modern and contemporary, it is located directly across from buildings with a distinctly 19th century architecture.  For example, you may be able to distinguish a red and white half-timbered facade in the wild distortions of the all glass restaurant wall.  It was before lunch time and the chef appears to be gathering himself for the crowds soon to arrive.

It's easier to sort this out if you enlarge the image (by clicking on it).

  4. Yes, the white chandelier is cool. The place is filled with many inventive, and over-sized items. Such as the full size model of a horse that stands on a large dining table.

    Merci, A & M. J'essaie !
