Today instead of his traditional hat, the chef is wearing a construction hard hat.

We're in the heart of the opera house where gold is mixed with dust and steel pipes with rubber cables coiled around them on the old creaking parquetry. The place smells of uninhabited manor where stage sets from some past performance are still around. Next to tables on which the domes of Favart cakes are sitting imposingly, Jean-Christophe Jeanson, pastry chef for the Maison Lenôtre, is telling us the peculiar story of the new cake.

The Favart can be found in Lenôtre stores from February 13th onward
