A bouquet offered with a handwritten note belongs to the small rituals of French hospitality. Grey Goose gives that familiar gesture a botanical interpretation with Le Jardin Berry Rouge, a temporary installation at Mimosa, in the Hôtel de la Marine. The Paris restaurant will host two public afternoon events on Saturday, September 19, and Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 3 pm to 6 pm.
At 2 Rue Royale, chef Jean-François Piège’s restaurant draws its culinary identity from the Mediterranean, with Provence and Italy as points of reference. Its leafy terrace provides the setting for an installation centred on Grey Goose Berry Rouge, the French vodka brand’s berry-flavoured expression. Here, the botanical theme connects the spirit’s ingredients with the restaurant’s garden surroundings and its Riviera sensibility.
A different kind of bouquet
For the two afternoons, contemporary florist and multidisciplinary botanical studio Saison will create bouquets composed entirely of red berry shoots and fruit. The arrangements bring the idea behind Berry Rouge into another medium: berries move from the vocabulary of a spirit to the materials of a botanical composition. Visitors will be able to take a bouquet away, extending the installation beyond Mimosa’s terrace.
A calligraphy station adds a personal element to the programme. Visitors can customise the card accompanying their arrangement, pairing the botanical work with a handwritten message. This combination of fruit, foliage and lettering places the gesture of giving at the centre of the event. Saison’s contribution makes the bouquet an integral part of the concept, with its own materials and craft.
Berries from the bouquet to the glass
Grey Goose Berry Rouge combines the natural essences of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries sourced from the Mediterranean. The expression builds on the ingredients associated with the house’s original vodka: soft Picardy wheat and spring water from Gensac-la-Pallue. Distilled and bottled in France, it introduces a berry profile that supplies the Paris installation with both its name and its botanical theme.
At Mimosa, the featured serve will be the Goose Berry cocktail. The press release lists Grey Goose Berry Rouge, cranberry juice, lemonade and lemon juice, served over ice. Artisanal ice cream will also accompany the event. Together with Saison’s arrangements, the programme follows the red berry theme through distinct forms, from the stems and fruit of the bouquet to the ingredients in the glass.
The first public afternoon takes place on September 19, followed by a second on October 10. Both run from 3 pm to 6 pm on Mimosa’s terrace at 2 Rue Royale, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Set within the Hôtel de la Marine, these two dates offer a focused introduction to Le Jardin Berry Rouge and its interpretation of the French tradition of giving flowers.
