The prestigious dinner night honoring Marco Rossi's retirement was set to take place on Tuesday at Le Jardin Élysée, an opulent venue in the heart of Paris. Located along the Seine, this luxurious estate combined historic grandeur with modern sophistication.
The event began at 7:00 PM sharp.
The timing wasn't just random, that was when the Eiffel tower normally lit up, casting its golden glow over the city.
In the venue, Le Jardin Élysée, the main hall, Salle des Étoiles, had been totally transformed into a vision of Parisian elegance. The marble floors reflected the soft golden light casted by the crystal chandeliers hung from the adorned ceiling.
Many circular tables draped in white clothes with golden embroidery faced a wide stage that had a similar design for its back wall. White roses and lilies also surrounded the stage as well, and a soft musical echoed through the room as it slowly filled up from 7 PM.
