La Tour d'Argent - les lumières


La Tour d'Argent


Although I have not dined at La Tour d'Argent 
and would love to explore their wine list
one can enjoy the aesthetics of the wrought iron lamp posts
and the Guimard awning over the entrance door.

Petit Musée de la Table de la Tour d'Argent



Little Museum of the Table


...of the Table?  
Why, a most famous table, that of La Tour d'Argent.  
The little museum has a display of cutlery, original menus,
 and memorabilia from times gone by.

Probably the most impressive display, is that of a table,
which is laid out exactly as it would have been for a royal assembly
and pretigious event that took place in Paris in 1867.

Before you write down the address and put it on your to-do list
please note that it is only available in the reception area of the restaurant,
for which you have made dinner reservations.  Tant pis pour moi.
