“It’s the oldest restaurant in Paris, and it has a very strong history. It’s a part of the French culture and a symbol of French cuisine all around the world,” shared Press Officer Marion Effray, explaining what makes La Tour d’Argent stand out.
When asked what she would recommend couples try out this Valentine’s Day, Effray replied: “With no doubt, the Crêpes Mademoiselle which are made just in front of you in the restaurant”.

This restaurant gives you the chance to experience the Eiffel Tower in another way; that is, rather than looking at it from afar, you could dine inside it. Explaining what makes Le Jules Verne special, Michelin-starred Chef Frédéric Anton tells us:
"The restaurant Le Jules Verne is unique as it is located at the top of one of the most emblematic monuments in the world, the Eiffel Tower, and it proposes a wonderful view of Paris and a gastronomic experience. Le Jules Verne is the perfect spot for a memorable Valentine's Day."

Chef Frédéric Anton further revealed that he has prepared a special menu for this Valentine’s Day, featuring Le Jules Verne’s most-loved dish, La Langoustine.
So, if you are lucky enough to be in Paris and in love during this time of the year (and after countless months of COVID-related stress), do not miss the opportunity to visit these gems and experience something unforgettable.
