The now legendary “Silver Tower,” <br> as it was also known, was built in 1582, at the time of King Henry III, <br> during an era of grandeur. Forks were being introduced for the first time! <br> Suddenly, it became impolite to eat with the fingers. <br> <br> <br> The romantic 16th and 17th century was the era of succulent pressed duck. <br> In those days, the Royal Family ordered the Bastille cannons to help the <br> rebels; the Lords were dueling at the Bridge of La Tournelle… it was <br> fashionable the to “reserve a table” to the rhythm of the minuet <br> and of the gavotte. Gourmets reveled in these royal suppers at <br> what is now the oldest restaurant in Paris. <br> <br> <br> In that century, which did not ignore any of the pleasures of this world, <br> the King’s attendants, the Abbots of the Court, the philosophers and the <br> poets, the worldly and the dainty Parisians enjoyed the dining room in the <br> Silver Tower, Quai de la Tournelle. It was in the heart of old Paris. <br> Here, Paris’ charms would forever be unknown to those who did <br> not live in the late 1700’s. <br> <br> <br> In the mysterious Paris of the Romantics, the novelist Balzac wandered in <br> search of the past. On the Seine River banks, Georg Sand waited <br> for Musset; Alexandre Dumas found his duellists. <br> <br> <br> Time passes, even for the ageless Restaurant de “La Tour d’Argent,”(Silver Tower) <br> in Paris. Now we are creating all the pomp of the Royal Supper at the <br> Top O’The Strip and invite you to savor our most delectable viands, and <br> particularly Les Canards Pour Les Gourmets — Duck for the Gourmet. Voila! <br>
