After 16 months of renovation, the Tour d’Argent has reopened its doors with three new features in addition to its gourmet restaurant: a ground-floor bar, a rooftop and an apartment for overnight stays. All of which adds to the buzz surrounding a Parisian institution founded in the 16th century!
To “bring it into the 21st century”, while drawing on the restaurant’s “rich heritage” and “preserving the landmarks for which it is famous”. This was architect Franklin Azzi’s brief for the new Tour d’Argent…
After almost a year and a half of transformations, Paris’ oldest and perhaps most famous gastronomic restaurant is once again shining in the firmament of taste buds!
