Le Grand Véfour

Alphonse Daudet opens *Fromont and Risler* with "A wedding-party at the Cafe Vefour." Later, the salon windows still gleam "like the chandeliers at a wedding feast," so the restaurant becomes a chamber where celebration survives as painful recollection. ([gutenberg.org](https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/3980/pg3980-images.html?utm_source=openai)) Daudet chooses Véfour for its prestige: a grand Paris room where bourgeois display, social ambition, and emotional aftertaste are instantly legible. That interpretive point is inferred from the novel and the restaurant's standing in Parisian dining history.
