Description

Ore means "mouth" in Latin. A disarmingly simple name for this place that is quite simply exceptional – a 17C pavilion within the Palace of Versailles. Alain Ducasse is the Sun King of the premises, enforcing the culinary law for which he is known. That of naturality and a constantly renewed homage to fine ingredients.
