A year after the flagship Ladurée boutique along Paris’s famed Champs-Elysées went up in flames, the luxury tea house has reopened for business. It took a year to restore the café to its original glory after a fire broke out and engulfed the cafe, which has been a landmark since 1997.

To serve the throngs of tourists and local Parisian fans alike, a pop-up store was erected alongside the gutted boutique in the meantime.

The renovation of the boutique, meanwhile, was an exercise in patience as everything from the carpets to banquettes, chairs, mirrors and banisters were restored to their original state in painstaking, meticulous detail by the same artists who helped build the first store.
