Le Manoir
As Seen By Thomas Rousset

Thomas Rousset’s fascination with ambiguity and surrealism permeates his photography, which flirts with the limits of everyday life and imagination. A lover of fantastical scenarios, the French photographer captures the enigmatic spirit of Le Manoir — where fine-dining meets irreverent innovation — to explore a lesser-known side of this culinary haven.

A member of staff stands behind a wooden bar holding a large young rhubarb leaf by the stem, which covers his face.

Round chocolate cakes with pink and yellow icing flowers rest on lily-pad plates in a styled close-up of the pond.

Surreal image of a waiter with a tray of afternoon tea cakes on his shoulder as he walks waist high through green pond weed.

A bunch of large deep green rhubarb leaves, freshly-pulled, rests on a bed, scattering soil granules on the crisp bed linen.

Standing in gardens, fallen apples at her feet, a woman with red hair, wearing black, holds a large still life of vegetables.
