The Municipal House is situated in the very centre of Prague, next the Powder Tower. The building is among the most important New Baroque architecture with Art Nouveau interiors in Prague. The Municipal House was built from 1905 to 1912 according to architects A. Balsanek and O. Polivka. The original sculptures on the facade and the interior paintings were created by the most significant Czech sculptors and painters of that era (e.g. Mikolas Ales, Max Svabinsky, Josef Vaclav Myslbek or Alfons Mucha). Since the very beginning, the Municipal House has been a multifunctional building. In the interior, there are many representative halls, the largest and the most impressive is called "Smetanova sin" (Smetana Hall). There are often held congresses, conferences, concerts, balls or fashion shows in the Municipal House. The Municipal House has been a National Cultural Monument of the Czech Republic since 1989. Some sections of the building are accessible only by guided tour.
The French restaurant is located in the stunning Municipal House. The original Art Nouveau interior is well-preserved. The guests of the French restaurant are "transported" back to the early 20th century. Gorgeous crystal and gold chandeliers hang from a very high ceiling, seating in the wooden booths with superb upholstery, wooden tables with crisp white tablecloths and highly polished silverware and sparkling glasses, allegoric paintings on the high walls drawn by Josef Wenig and waiters dressed in the period uniforms. This is the French restaurant of the Municipal House in Prague. The restaurant is also highly appreciated among professionals for its superb quality of dishes and for the unique atmosphere. The French restaurant offers the ideal setting for organizing the social events like dinners, evening dress dinners, brunches or banquets. According the Grand restaurant (an independent guide to the best and most interesting restaurants) the French restaurant in Prague is among the top five restaurants in the Czech Republic.

In 2008,a brand new lighting control system was installed in the French restaurant. Installation of the hardware part was carried out by GOOLST s.r.o. Installation of software was handled by S&V ProIB. An INELS system (intelligent electrical installation system) was selected for reliable control of the restaurant lighting. The INELS central unit CU2-01M is connected to the control computer which is equipped with a touch screen monitor. The Reliance 4 SCADA/HMI system was chosen for reliable control and visualization of the new lighting system over the control computer. The Reliance SCADA, together with the IDM software (INELS Designer and Manager), handles control and visualization of the selected lights in the French restaurant. The transparent visualizations are displayed on the touch screen monitor of the control computer. This allows the employees to simply turn on, turn off or set up the illumination level of the selected lights from one place (on the touch screen monitor).
