Guy Savoy, L'Arpege, Epicure, Le Meurice, Le Cinq, etc in Paris alone all require jackets for gentlemen.
I was at L'arpege this past Sept and I definitely did not wear a jacket. I think only about half of the patrons wore jackets.
Le Bernardin lent me a jacket that could fit 2 of me. Cyrus lent me jacket & khaki pants because I walked in in shorts.
