The Pierre was heavy with French accents at the French Institute Alliance Français Trophée des Arts Gala. Cindy Adams, Matthew and Cari Modine, Norman Mailer, Helen Gurley Brown, Fernando Sanchez, Felicia Taylor, and His Excellency Mr. François Bujon de l’Estang enjoyed the live and silent auctions, including a bounty of items from Air France and Cartier, choice French wines, Hotel Le Bristol, and raffled dinners at Manhattan’s stellar eateries Restaurant Daniel and Alain Ducasse.
