We were honoured to attend a distinguished dinner at the French Residence, hosted by Hélène Duchêne, French Ambassador to the United Kingdom, in recognition of the National Day sponsors. A special thank you to Gilles Quillot, Chef at the French Ambassador’s Residence, for crafting an exceptional dining experience. Petrossian remains proud to support and represent French savoir-faire on the international stage.
