Don't know the connection, if any . . . perhaps Annie Famose Group leases the space from Groupe Barriere? . . . maybe GB sold its interest in the space to Annie Famose Group? (though, I doubt it).

We went to the early sitting of L'Opéra so I am guessing it was a little less crazy than "late night"

Must have been. Our daughter talked about the staff's champagne conga line being led by a motorcycle through the middle of the restaurant!We went to the early sitting of L'Opéra so I am guessing it was a little less crazy than "late night"
We only had lunches around the harbor, including numerous aperitifs at Senequier. Dinner was around the Place de Lices and beyond (Salama & La Ramade). Really enjoyed Saint-Tropez and can't wait to go back, although it's a bit out of the way.

I believe he is an entrepreneur and the owner, starting with Jao, that is according to Dennis was his best (I loved PaCri more). He was in tennis before moving to the hospitality according to the lore.

I ditto that. Three great restaurants (adding Lesprit) near each other + Tamarin + GdS (somewhat). Although PaCri was the shortest living

I mean now. Not 20 years ago.
JAO was extraordinary . . . in cuisine, style, service, & savoir faire!
Pascal has had a long, apparently successful “run“ (& not yet at an end!). In our acquaintance, he always is (& has been) a gentleman — refined, gentle, & considerate. I don’t know the financial arrangements that may be part of his restaurant associations, but the colleagues in business with him seem to be well served in the relationships.

I mean that too; at least, that's what was said about his current establishments. I only met him personally in his PaCri times.
”Is” or “used to be?” My impression is that it’s the latter.

Dennis, I too think Pascale has moved on to other new endeavors, Amy

That would seem to make sense.
Would seem surprising for competing hospitality groups to engage the same consultant. If that’s what he is ???
