La Pyramide Patrick Henriroux 2 Michelin starred restaurant is highly rated for its refined French dishes made from top quality ingredients and the restaurant has proudly kept its two Michelin stars since 1992.

Upon arrival in Vienne, check into your Deluxe room at the 4* hotel La Pyramide. The afternoon will be free for you to settle in and explore independently.
