The setting offers contemporary French cuisine, led by Marseille chef Charles Degrendele.

Highlight French gastronomy internationally
The idea of a week’s excursion to Vietnam was born from the mind of André Terrail, with the aim of faire travel the flavors and know-how of the iconic restaurant of the 5th district of the capital. The initiative also follows La Tour en Balade, initiated in 2022 during the renovation of the setting. La Tour d’Argent had thus carried out a tour of France in the heart of several properties belonging to major wine and spirits houses, such as the Crayères de Ruinart and the Château de la Marquetterie de Taittinger. A stopover in Japan was also proposed at the Silver Tower in Tokyo.
