Les Jeudis de la Villa return to the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild this November with a new season dedicated to culture and refinement.
The 3rd edition of Les Jeudis de la Villa will take place from 6th November, 2025, to 2nd April, 2026. It features a series of 18 exceptional evenings that blend inspiring conversations with exquisite dining, all set in the stunning Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild.
Honouring the vision of Baroness Béatrice’s in preserving the spirit of the Salon, these weekly gatherings will offer a unique opportunity to meet, converse, and explore new ideas. Each Thursday, a distinguished guest speaker will share their expertise on a wide range of topics – from culture and literature to sports, science, art, gastronomy, ecology, and beyond.
Les Jeudis de la Villa take place in an intimate setting in the restaurant Béatrice, where no more than thirty guests will be in attendance for an evening of stimulating dialogue. This is followed by a carefully crafted dinner, the menus prepared by chef Myriam Barda, designed to indulge both the intellect and the senses.
