L'Observatoire du Gabriel**

About the Ambassade

Located on Bordeaux’s Place de la Bourse, Le Gabriel offers sweeping views of the Garonne River, the Miroir d’Eau reflecting pool, and the Three Graces Fountain. This elegant private mansion, reminiscent of a classic hôtel particulier, was acquired in 2019 by the de Boüard de Laforest family, owners of Château Angélus in Saint-Émilion. Spread across three floors, Le Gabriel is a celebration of French hospitality and art de vivre: on the ground floor, a convivial bar; on the first floor, the bistro Le 1544 with its comforting, nostalgic cuisine; and on the second floor is the Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant L’Observatoire, led by Executive Chef Bertrand Noeureuil.

About the Krug Lover

Since December 2023, this beautiful 18th-century pavilion has been a field of dreams for Executive Chef Bertrand Noeureuil. Having honed his skills alongside some of France’s finest Chefs for 15 years, he is now writing his own culinary repertoire. His mission is to burnish this emblematic Bordeaux landmark and restore it to its rightful place through a global culinary project divided into three creative, poetic acts rooted in this terroir, the region, and its formidable diversity on land, in the sea, and in the vineyard.
