Jérôme Foucaud – The Conductor

The son and grandson of hoteliers, Jérôme Foucaud honed his talents over a ten-year period in the seasonal luxury hotel business in Saint-Tropez and Courchevel, before leaving his role as operations manager for Hôtels Byblos to embark on the Murano adventure in 2003. Between 2004 and 2009, he created two strong and distinctive hotel brands, Murano Resort and KUBE Hotel, and opened four establishments in Paris, Marrakech and Saint-Tropez. In spring 2010, approaching the age of forty and with twenty years’ experience, he decided to set up his own business: 00F
Jérôme Foucaud is currently busy working on projects in a variety of areas:
- The hotel and restaurant trade as a consultant, developer and/or operator.
- Investments in the hotel and restaurant sector.

Given his close affinity with his native Savoy, LE TIGRR Megève is a project very close to Jérôme Foucaud’s heart and has offered him the opportunity to return to the region of his paternal grandparents, who had initially introduced him to the hotel and restaurant business.
Saint-Tropez was an obvious destination for the second den of LE TIGRR, as Jerome Foucaud has resided with his family on the peninsula for the past twenty years.

Philippe Di Méo – Artistic Design

Originally from Marseille, Philippe Di Méo left the allures of the great Mediterranean port city in 1982 to train as an architect at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Aix-en-Provence before moving on to Paris. Graduated with a degree in design, he quickly went on to set up his own agency in 1989 called Reso Design.
From the outset, he has worked closely with the world of luxury design, adding his own personal touch and preserving the authenticity and savoir-faire of each of the famous names he has worked with, while simultaneously bringing them smoothly up to date.
Over the last 20 years, he has produced numerous creations for the likes of Moët & Chandon, Dom Pérignon, Baccarat, Christofle, Raynaud, Sofitel, Coca Cola, Guerlain, Jean Paul Gaultier, Sephora and recently Arte. After several exhibitions in Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong, Philippe Di Méo forged ahead in his independent career by creating exclusive items for some of the biggest names in French tableware and homeware.
Whether working solo or as a part of a team, Philippe Di Méo is firmly committed to a sense of freedom and an open mind, always ready to break new ground and explore new possibilities.
Since their first meeting in Paris in 2004, Jérôme Foucaud and Philippe Di Méo have worked closely together on a number of projects.
For this latest collaboration, the artist was responsible for creating a new name, LE TIGRR, a new identity, and a new scenography for the restaurant and bar areas for both the Megeve and the Saint-Tropez locations.

Christophe Lemblé – The Host

Since May 2012, Christophe Lemblé has been in charge of l’Hôtel Ermitage in Saint-Tropez for the summer season.
With the local connections built up over two winter seasons spent in Megève in 2010 and 2012, Christophe Lemblé is the master of the house at LE TIGRR Megève.

Dan Adrien Carraz – Mister Music

Dan Adrien and Jérôme Foucaud became friends thirty years ago thanks to their shared love of music. Since then, their professional careers have crossed paths on many occasions.
Dan Adrien began his career as a DJ in 1985 at La Grange in Courchevel 1850.
In the summer months, he ruled over the turntables at the no less famous Caves du Roy in Saint-Tropez and the Amnésia in Cap d’Agde.
In 2002, he moved to Paris, where he still lives. After a spell as resident DJ at theTanjia, he became artistic director at the Nirvana in 2003.
In 2004, he joined the group Murano in Paris as artistic director and DJ: for six years he held court at the Murano Resort in Paris and Marrakech, as well as the Kube Hotel in Paris and Saint-Tropez, famous for their ice bars.
Since the end of 2012, Dan Adrien has been working on a freelance basis, dividing his time between providing musical sets for venues or events and booking artists.
At LE TIGRR Megève, Dan Adrien, the experienced DJ par excellence, orchestrates a program that transcends frontiers and fashions: his sound is at once qualitative, rare and fun, a journey into classic funk, house and disco from the 70s to the present day…
