Moët Hennessy opens Cravan, a new cocktail lounge in Paris

Tucked away in Paris’ Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the opulent interiors and inspired libations of Cravan celebrate the French art de vivre.

CRAVAN is the latest luxury hospitality venture from Moët Hennessy, located in the heart of the iconic literary district of Paris’ Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Guided by the concept of French art de vivre, Caravan is spread across five floors within a 17th-century Parisian building.

The interior design was overseen by Belgian designer, Ramy Fischler, and takes inspiration from art, fashion, cinema and literature. The first four floors are occupied by three cocktail bars and a Rizzoli bookstore curated by Cravan. The top floors hide away an invitation-only private atelier, while a mini Parisian kiosk is perched upon the building’s rooftop, where movies will be screened on warm summer nights. Guests can expect to encounter iconic tipples such as Dom Perignon, Veuve Clicquot, Armand de Brignac, and Moët & Chandon, among others.

I am delighted to start welcoming our guests at the heart of historical literary neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, inviting them to step into the unique and singular universe of Cravan,” said Philippe Schaus, chairman and CEO of Moët Hennessy. “Celebrating epicureanism through a sustainable, lasting and inspired approach of hospitality, Cravan is a strategic milestone in Moët Hennessy’s ambition to lead the future of luxury wines and spirits.”
