The focal point will be the Air France restaurant, which will open its doors especially for this occasion. With a capacity of 80 seats, the restaurant will offer an original gastronomic experience.

Award-winning French chef with three Michelin stars, Arnaud Lallement, will create delicious dishes on the restaurant's à la carte menu. With a choice of meat, poultry, fish or vegetarian options, the dishes on the restaurant's menu in July will be renewed in August. The menu will feature desserts by Nina Métayer, recently named the world's best pastry chef in 2024 by the World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards. The offer will also include a selection of wines, champagnes and a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
