The Tour de Taste experience

Eric Viale, General Manager of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Southern Europe subsidiary, states, “Continuously responding to the changing tastes of luxury travellers, IHG Hotels & Resorts is evolving the guest experience to offer memorable moments that will linger long after the meal is finished. The Tour de Taste experience is just one example among many.

“It celebrates the richness of our hotel heritage, our portfolio of luxury products, and our French way of life. We are proud to bring a breath of fresh air to the world of French gastronomy. The Tour de Taste menu showcases some of the country’s finest cuisine. I highly recommend trying the Anchovy Pissaladière, which is one of my favourite dishes.”
