Artcurial and Pierre Hermé Paris Host the First-Ever Auction of Haute French Pastry
On December 1st, Artcurial launched a groundbreaking event: the first-ever charity auction featuring creations by internationally renowned pastry chefs.
This exceptional occasion celebrated the excellence, creativity and generosity at the heart of the profession, and paid tribute to childhood as a lasting source of inspiration. Gathered around Pierre Hermé were leading figures such as Frédéric Bau, Bastien Blanc-Tailleur, Nicolas Cloiseau, Anne Coruble, Yann Couvreur, Frédéric Cassel, Maxime Frédéric, Amaury Guichon, Jean-Paul Hévin, Arnaud Lahrer, Etienne Leroy, Christophe Michalak, Jérôme de Oliveira, Patrick Roger and Patrick Rougereau — their presence underlining the scale and prestige of the project.
Each chef created an original piece or an exclusive experience specially conceived for the sale. All proceeds were donated to BAB Charity, founded by Alexandre Bader, which works to enhance the well-being and development of children with leukaemia who are being treated at the Armand-Trousseau Hospital in Paris.
