TWO ARTISANS AT YOUR SERVICE
ABOUT US
Two Brothers
Paire d’As, c’est avant tout notre histoire: deux frères réunis par une même passion pour l’hospitalité, le produit et le travail bien fait.
Baptiste apporte son expérience du bar, du service haut de gamme et de l’organisation. Simon puise dans son parcours de chef une connaissance approfondie des saveurs, la précision du geste et une créativité sans limite.
This synergy guides our every decision—from cocktail creation to the art of welcoming and caring for our guests.
Two distinct personalities and skill sets united around a single ambition: crafting generous, elegant, and deeply human experiences.
THE COCKTAIL reimagined
Une vision profondément humaine du service - inspirée par la Provence, ouverte sur la Riviera et nourrie par une culture du bar sans frontières.
Paire d’As est né au cœur de la Provence, à la croisée de la culture méditerranéenne et de l’élégance de la Côte d’Azur – un territoire où le goût des belles choses, le plaisir de recevoir et la générosité des instants partagés façonnent naturellement l’art de vivre.
Our approach stems from a single vision: to rethink the bar experience by blending craftsmanship, cocktail culture, refined hospitality, and an intuitive focus on detail that makes every moment distinct.
Whether a wedding, a private reception, or a corporate event, every occasion where we set up our bar becomes an opportunity to connect—a temporary gathering place where emotions, memories, and shared moments come to life.
Avec nous, le cocktail ne se contente plus d’accompagner le moment – il en raconte l’histoire.
CUSTOM-CRAFTED AS A SIGNATURE
Un art de recevoir qui se démarque par sa justesse et son élégance - jamais par son extravagance
Every event is singular. Venue, guest count, atmosphere, and your personal approach to hospitality define a distinct environment. We carefully study these nuances to design a bar that harmonizes with your project.
Hospitality, guidance, and foresight define our practice. Together, we curate a tailored menu — signature drinks, custom creations, or reimagined classics. Each formulation is crafted to convey a story, a memory, or a sense of place.
We apply the same rigor to the drink itself as to its presentation. Ingredient selection, glassware, finishing details, and service precision work in total alignment.
We read the flow of your reception — knowing when to engage and when to stay behind the scenes — so the bar naturally elevates the experience.
From early exchanges to the final pour, every stage of preparation, installation, and execution is managed with absolute precision.
Une présence chaleureuse et maîtrisée – suffisamment attentive pour faire la différence, suffisamment discrète pour laisser toute sa place à l’événement.
Why Paire d’As?
When searching for a name, we wanted to reflect our partnership without simply combining our two names. The image of a pair of aces felt immediate: two strong cards, distinct in suit, but holding their full power when paired together.
It is a subtle reference to poker, where being dealt a winning hand is only the beginning — execution requires precision, composure, and perfect timing.A principles-driven vision that defines our approach to hospitality.
Une philosophie qui ressemble beaucoup à notre métier.
Two brothers, two perspectives, two craft traditions. Together, Paire d’As. Paire d’As.
Nous ne servons pas seulement des cocktails - nous créons des expériences sur mesure pour marquer l'instant et prolonger son souvenir bien après le dernier verre
BAPTISTE
Une expérience internationale,
des pubs australiens aux établissements hoteliers haut de gamme.
Baptiste stepped into the bar industry by chance in Australia.
Spending three years between Melbourne and Sydney, he mastered high-volume service while cultivating a passion for cocktail formulation and guest hospitality.
De retour en France, il rejoint un hôtel 4 étoiles dans les Alpes, où il découvre un univers plus exigeant, en terme d’organisation et d’excellence du service. Après un passage par le monde de la nuit parisienne, il devient bar manager au sein d’un groupe hotelier haut de gamme en Norvège.
This experience marked a decisive turning point.
He designed menus, crafted signature cocktails, and built a distinct bar identity while structuring the overall beverage program and service operations.
He later joined Carry Nation, Marseille’s Prohibition-inspired speakeasy, deepening his expertise in bespoke mixology and conceptual storytelling.
Through these diverse venues, Baptiste developed a complete mastery of the craft and a clear vision that now drives Paire d’As:
high-volume rhythm control, menu architecture, and cohesive bar experiences tailored to every venue and event.
SIMON
From Michelin-starred kitchens to mixology: precision, taste, and absolute mastery.
Passionné par la gastronomie depuis toujours, Simon débute en cuisine à l’âge de 18 ans. Après plusieurs saisons à Biarritz en tant que commis, il rejoint les Alpes pour parfaire son apprentissage dans un établissement étoilé Michelin.
Il y développe une exigence forte autour du produit, du goût et de la précision du geste.
For over a decade, he led kitchens as Head Chef across upscale venues in Guadeloupe and the South of France, cementing his operational discipline and flavor mastery.
This period allowed him to build solid technical foundations and strong operational organization.
Over time, driven by a desire for more direct contact with guests, he felt the need to step away from the kitchen.
Inspired by his brother’s journey, he naturally transitioned into mixology — a medium where he could unite culinary technique, flavor exploration, creativity, and hospitality.
Certified in professional bartending (CQP), he spent two years at Le Bar dans les Arbres in Aubagne, mastering every aspect of the trade.
To further deepen his product knowledge, he undertook specialized training with Maison Ferroni.
Today, he channels this intersection of gastronomy and cocktail culture into Paire d’As, creating precise, sensitive, and elevated drink experiences.

FAQ
Before getting in touch, here is a overview of our philosophy and how we operate.
Do you always operate as a duo?
Every service is designed and prepared jointly, though both of us are not systematically behind the bar.
Depending on the event size, layout, and guest count, we frequently work as a duo, while certain formats require only one of us. For larger gatherings, we call upon a trusted network of professionals trained to our exact standards.
Regardless of the configuration, every bar experience is directed and overseen by Baptiste and Simon.
Is Paire d’As truly a story between brothers?
Yes. Paire d’As was born from Baptiste and Simon’s shared desire to bring their paths together around a single vision of mixology: precise cocktails, elegant service, and an experience crafted down to the smallest detail.

Aesthetic choices remain secondary to taste.

We handcraft the majority of our components beforehand: fresh-squeezed juices, artisanal syrups, custom infusions, and tailored garnishes.
This meticulous prep guarantees precise flavor balance, ingredient integrity, and unwavering quality throughout the event.

Every project begins with a conversation.
We take the time to map out the venue, event format, guest expectations, and overall vision. From this foundation, we structure a comprehensive concept — covering menu design and full operational planning.
