For your information, the history of Prunier<\/strong><\/em> dates back to 1872<\/strong>, when Alfred Prunier<\/strong> opened the first oyster bar<\/strong> in Paris<\/strong>. In 1900<\/strong>, Prunier<\/strong><\/em> innovated again by serving wine<\/strong> and champagne<\/strong> by the glass, thus creating the first so-called tasting bar<\/strong><\/em>. Therefore, \u00c9mile Prunier<\/strong>, son of Alfred<\/strong>, continued this tradition of innovation in 1924<\/strong> with the opening of Prunier<\/strong><\/em>, in avenue Victor Hugo<\/strong><\/em>. Then, \u00c9mile Prunier<\/strong>, visionary and daring entrepreneur<\/strong><\/em>, plays a key role<\/strong> in the creation of the first national production of French caviar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Visionary<\/strong>, he also developed the local production of caviar<\/strong> from wild sturgeon<\/strong> caught on the French coasts<\/strong> and in the rivers of the Gironde<\/strong> and the Dordogne<\/strong>. This unforgettable Art Deco<\/strong><\/em> address, imagined by Louis-Hippolyte Bouleau<\/strong>, Auguste Labouret<\/strong> and Alexey Brodovitch<\/strong>, honors black marble<\/strong>, bronze<\/strong> and gold<\/strong> effects, and wall frescoes<\/strong>, that all combine to provide a memorable experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
