In the fall of 2026, the Fondation Cartier will unveil a major culinary project on Rue de Rivoli. Chef Anne-Sophie Pic, the only woman in France to hold three Michelin stars, will open her new Parisian restaurant there following the closure of La Dame de Pic. This new chapter will unfold in two phases: beginning September 4, 2026, with the opening of the “Utopic” bar, followed on September 18, 2026, by the opening of her exceptional restaurant, “Anne-Sophie Pic Paris.” This arrival strengthens the dialogue between haute cuisine and contemporary art at the heart of the institution.

On September 20, 2026, Sofia Coppola will be present—in conjunction with the exhibition at the Palace of Versailles dedicated to her film “Marie Antoinette,” which opens on September 22, 2026—for a book-signing at the Fondation Cartier for Contemporary Art bookstore. The American director will be signing copies of Andrew Durham’s new photography book, “Making Marie Antoinette.” Open to the public; no reservation required.

The Fondation Cartier pour l’art’s new space, designed by architect Jean Nouvel, builds on the foundation’s mission: to support contemporary creation in all its forms—art, design, photography, architecture, science, and the performing arts. Through temporary exhibitions, performances, and events, the Fondation Cartier offers a program that engages with the major issues of our time, while fostering dialogue among artists, audiences, and disciplines. Its contemporary building is set within an exceptional historic setting, close to both Parisian and international audiences.

Restaurant:

Starting in the fall of 2026, the Fondation Cartier will serve as the setting for Anne-Sophie Pic’s new culinary venture. Following the closure of her previous restaurant, the three-Michelin-starred chef is setting up shop on Rue de Rivoli with a brand-new concept called “Anne-Sophie Pic Paris”. The project kicks off on September 4, 2026, with the opening of “Utopic,” a bar dedicated to mixology, ahead of the grand opening of the fine-dining restaurant on September 18, 2026. This prestigious fusion of contemporary art and haute cuisine promises to transform the visitor experience.
