Versailles Spirit or retro-modernity

Today, retro-modernity provides a real backdrop to the international artistic world. It was started by European artists who sought inspiration in classical styles for their contemporary creations. Cheeky reinvention, audacious tribute and a contrast of styles are the key words of retro-modernity. The essential aim requires affirming a design for today which takes root in the classical styles of the great epochs of history.

Through daring associations of classicism and modernity, interior decoration, fashion and even design have thereby created a new style that is both unexpected and refined. Inspired by the most remarkable works of French art from the 17th century to the Empire period, retro-modern artists have given birth to new works which are sometimes provocative and always resolutely modern. Louis XIV armchairs use Plexiglas, the fa?ades of the most beautiful monuments of the period have become the stage for futuristic and dazzling lighting effects, fashion is cheekily reinventing capes and thigh-high boots. Classic tradition is revisited with the use of unexpected colour combinations, innovative materials or original shapes.

The GRAND MARNIER Versailles Spirit bottle is a flamboyant and contemporary tribute to the ambitious quest for aesthetics and perfection that is characteristic of classic works of art.

History revisited

A delicate blend of the exoticism of tropical oranges and the nobility of fine cognacs, the GRAND MARNIER Cordon Rouge liqueur was created in 1880 by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle. From the beginning it has been a symbol of quality, authenticity and refinement.

After winning over men in high places, GRAND MARNIER liqueur quickly established itself in the most prestigious places from the bars at the Savoy and Ritz hotels to the royal courts of both Franz Joseph of Austria and King Edward VII. In large European and overseas cities, the liqueur was served at all parties and receptions. Though it may be enjoyed as an after dinner drink, GRAND MARNIER? is also an element of fine cooking where it goes into the making of refined dishes and desserts, as well as being used in world-class cocktails - some of which have become all time classics.

Today, Grand Marnier? liqueur continues to win over the most demanding and famous of connoisseurs. For the holiday season, the Versailles Spirit bottle, with its festive and original look, will hold a VIP position at the trendiest and most prestigious parties throughout the world.
