At the Parvis of Gare Saint‑Lazare in Paris, Brasserie Lazare embodies the vibrant soul of the French brasserie. Created by Chef Éric Frechon, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, Lazare celebrates generous, authentic French cuisine in the warm spirit of a railway buffet, lively, welcoming and unmistakably Parisian.
In a venue where tradition, craftsmanship and atmosphere are essential, even safety equipment must respect the architectural narrative. For this iconic brasserie, the chosen solution was the floor‑standing Alto fire extinguisher cabinet.
A Parisian Institution with a Strong Identity
Open Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 11:00pm and weekends from 11:45am to 11:00pm, Lazare is more than a restaurant, it is a place of daily life and shared moments.
Signature dishes such as the famous saucisse‑purée, sautéed calamari or the iconic “Paris‑Deauville” dessert reflect Chef Frechon’s philosophy: the taste of authenticity, generosity and conviviality.
The interior design echoes this spirit: warm wood paneling, velvet seating, brass accents and soft lighting recreate the timeless elegance of classic French brasseries.
ALTO: A Floor‑Standing Fire Extinguisher Cabinet Designed for Character Spaces
Installed discreetly within the wood‑paneled architecture of Lazare, the Alto fire extinguisher cabinet integrates seamlessly into the environment.

Far from the traditional red wall‑mounted extinguisher, Alto transforms a mandatory safety device into a vertical architectural element.
- Steel box 2mm
- Epoxy powder coating (matte, satin, glossy or fine texture)
- 5 standard colours + 180 RAL shades on request
- Integrated laser‑cut signage
- Optional acrylic glass totem (8mm)
At Lazare, the chosen configuration, a matte black finish, enhances discretion while maintaining strong visual presence, echoing the refined contrasts of the interior.
Floor‑Standing Installation: Stability and Architectural Freedom
ALTO can be:
- Wall‑mounted (without ballasted base)
- Installed on the floor (ballasted base mandatory)
In high‑traffic environments such as a major Paris train station restaurant, the floor‑standing solution offers:
- Enhanced stability
- Optimal visibility
- No compromise on existing wall finishes
- Protection against accidental impact
The pivot door system with neodymium magnet closure ensures ease of access while maintaining a clean, uninterrupted façade.
Technical Configuration – Alto Single (6L / 9L / CO₂ 2Kg)
- Cabinet dimensions: H 701 mm – W 330 mm – D 222 mm
- Cabinet + Ballasted Base: H 757 mm – W 330 mm – D 228 mm
- Weight (cabinet + base): 16 kg
- Materials: Steel box 2mm – Steel base 6mm
- Manufactured in France

For CO₂ 5Kg configurations, Alto offers adapted dimensions and reinforced structure while maintaining identical design coherence.
When Safety Belongs to the Interior Narrative
In a brasserie where wood textures, heritage spirit and Parisian elegance define the atmosphere, traditional safety equipment would disrupt the visual harmony.
Alto floor standing fire extinguisher cabinet demonstrates that regulatory compliance can coexist with design integrity.
At Brasserie Lazare, fire protection does not interrupt the architecture, it becomes part of it.
Because in places where the heart of Paris beats every day, every detail matters.
