The curtain has recently been raised on the result of several years of reflection, crazy ideas, feats of engineering and passion: La Tour d’Argent, one of the finest jewels in the crown of Parisian gastronomy, has just opened a new chapter in its history.
A year of complete renovation has been necessary to bring this monument, one of the most emblematic in Paris, into a new, resolutely contemporary era.
We take you on a tour of the new Tour d’Argent, a house of many delights.
Founded in 1582, the Tour d’Argent had not undergone such a transformation since 1936, when it was raised to the 6th floor.
In 2023, this institution reopens its doors after a titanic renovation project led by architect Franklin Azzi and talented craftsmen.
While the building has undergone a metamorphosis to bring it into the 21st century, its identity and values remain intact.
“To draw inspiration from the richness of its heritage, while retaining the landmarks for which it is renowned around the world.
According to André Terrail, the third generation at the helm of La Tour d’Argent, this is the declared objective of this legendary establishment.
While preserving the soul of the place, the essential spaces have been redesigned, and other new areas have been created, waiting to be discovered.
Metamorphosed after more than a year’s work by Franklin Azzi, architect responsible for the renovation of numerous historic buildings in France and abroad, La Tour d’Argent still retains the sense of hospitality and festivity that have built its legend.
From the entrance, a series of rooms lead into the heart of La Tour d’Argent.

At night, this feeling is reinforced when, like a lighthouse on the banks of the Seine, La Tour d’Argent catches the eye.
The Tour d’Argent reaches even higher into the sky with the exceptional opening of its roof on the 7th floor.
The most audacious achievement of the project, La table perchée offers an unforgettable, out-of-time experience.
Previously inaccessible, the roof has been transformed and metamorphosed to create an exceptional green terrace.
