Tea Times in Paris

It is that time of year when the weather can be temperamental, and we are always on the hunt for more indoor activities. A fun indoor activity that may not be on everyone’s list (but we believe should be!) is to a French Tea Time filled with delicious treats and drinks that will keep you warm all season long! Here is a summary of some of our favorites.

Rare teas and delicious chocolates await us at the Salon Proust! You can expect plenty of fabulous gourmet delights in the afternoon goûter, proposed by the Ritz. You have the choice between a sweet or a sweet and savory tea time experience, both served with your tea of choice and a glass of champagne, as we believe every goûter should be.

The Bristol welcomes us with cannelés, cakes, and scones, in their charming Café Antonia. On the savory side, they offer a selection of finger sandwiches and divine lobster rolls. They offer their tea time daily, from 15:30 - 18:00. This one is a must!

Perched on the 6th floor of the Printemps Haussmann women's department store, you'll find the Bleu Coupole restaurant and tea room. This discreet tea time spot has spectacular views over the rooftops of Paris and the Sacré Coeur. Located under the colorful dome of the department store. It is a great place to stop after you have shopped till you drop!

Another stop for those spending their mornings shopping away an afternoon treat at Pierre Herme tea room down Champs-Élysées might be exactly where you need to stop for a sweet pick-me-up!

For those looking for a verdant setting to enjoy a delicious tea-time snack, look no further than L'Officine du Louvre by Chef Julien Delhome. Open daily from 15:30 - 17:30 step into this leafy oasis and enjoy a selection of desserts and teas under the glass roof and maybe a glass of champagne or two!
