Florists, cabinet-makers, boot-makers&#8230;<br \/>\nFran\u00e7ois Delahaye, General Manager of the Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e, in the company of Alain Ducasse, Alain Delon, Christophe Michalak and other prestigious guests, created the event by burying a time capsule in the lobby of the palace. This time capsule, featuring objects representing the first 100 years of the Plaza, will be opened in 25 years&#8217; time.<br \/>\nThe highlight of the show was undoubtedly Christophe Michalak&#8217;s birthday cake, majestic in size and dominating the proceedings.<br \/>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item
