In a speech honoring the tennis legend, a brand ambassador for Moët Chandon, the luxury titan's trademark poise gave way to boyish enthusiasm.

The Pavillon Ledoyen, Yannick Alléno's historic restaurant in a grassy meadow at the bottom of the Champs-Elysées, was decorated with wildflower bouquets; candles flickered from their bamboo cages while a woman sang jazzy renditions of songs like "American Boy."
