Célébrer
les années

Un anniversaire. Un millésime. Un jour construit entièrement autour de votre année.

Célébrer les années — Maison IV

You have a year that matters — a birth year, a founding date, a harvest you carry with you. Maison IV builds an entire day around it. The vintages drive everything: the menu, the gestures, the gifts. Nothing is left to chance.

Émilien, trained under Ducasse, cooks alongside you — not in front of you. Charles opens the bottles: their year, their story, their rarity. A conversation begins that won't end at the table.

Quartier
Latin

Le plus vieux quartier de Paris. Vécu de l'intérieur.

Quartier Latin — Paris

Most visitors pass through the Quartier Latin. You are invited in. Maison IV opens its apartment to six guests at a time — no more.

The morning unfolds in the neighbourhood, with the people who actually live here. The afternoon ends at our table. Between the two, Paris stops being something to visit and becomes something to feel.

In every edition

A structure that repeats. A day that never does.

I
A passionate local host

A Parisian who opens their neighbourhood — not a guide, a real person who lives here and shares what they love.

II
A Haussmann apartment

An authentic Parisian living space as the natural backdrop for your day. The keys are yours.

III
A long lunch and its wines

A meal that unfolds without hurry, with wines chosen for their character and their story.

IV
Moments of letting go

Part of the edition is shaped on the day itself — so the day fits you, and stays beautifully unpredictable.

V
The art of transmission

Émilien shares the gestures, the addresses, the rhythm. Not a show — a way of living you take with you.

VI
Personal touches

Flowers, a curated selection — your guests leave with something to keep.

Questions

Can I reserve alone, even for a private event?+

Yes. You can reserve from 1 person. Each edition takes place only when at least 3 participants have confirmed their place. If that threshold is not reached before the session date, you are refunded in full or the edition is rescheduled at your convenience.

When does my reservation become confirmed?+

Payment via Stripe confirms your reservation immediately for all editions. Your place is secured the moment payment is received. No waiting for a confirmation email.

How far in advance should I book?+

A minimum of 72 hours is required for all editions. For Celebrating the Years, we recommend contacting us 2 weeks ahead — sourcing the right bottles from the right year takes time and care.

What is the cancellation policy?+

Full refund up to 72 hours before your edition. After that, the edition is in preparation and non-refundable — though we can reschedule in exceptional circumstances. Editions cancelled due to insufficient participants (fewer than 3 confirmed) are always refunded in full or rescheduled.

Are dietary requirements accommodated?+

Yes. Once your booking is confirmed, we contact you to gather any dietary restrictions or preferences. The menu is adapted accordingly — Émilien is trained to cook with, not for, his guests.

Can non-French speakers participate?+

Absolutely. All editions are available in English and French. They are designed to be felt as much as understood.
