Paris Café Tour

You may have heard of or visited some of the following Paris café recommendations. Or perhaps there will be a few new ones to add to your travel plans!

 
about Café Amourette in Passy
 

Café Amourette

Café Amourette in Passy features lovely views just a quick walk from the Eiffel Tower. I love the smoked salmon with creme fraiche and the cappuccino was very good. If you are looking for a quiet area far from crowds and something close to a landmark; this is perfect!

about Café Aéro
 

Café Aéro

Café Aéro is another lovely café in the Passy neighborhood, where the locals go and everyone seems to know each other. It’s not fancy and might need a little makeover in my opinion. However, the delicious croissants, coffee, and kind staff elevates it to a wonderful eatery. We will continue to go when we are in Passy. I miss my mornings there.

about Le Café Marly in Paris France
 

Le Café Marly

Le Café Marly is one of the most iconic and gorgeous Parisian cafes! With fabulous views of the Louvre and Pyramids, along with fantastic service. Don’t miss the Chocolat Viennois, it is so delicious! The chocolate and whipped cream is out of this world and its rich chocolate flavor and whipped Chantilly cream are sophisticated and not overly sweet. We also enjoy ordering cheese and wine and relaxing here.

about Le Fumoir Café in Paris France
 

Le Fumoir Café

Le Fumoir Cafe is a gem and a close walk from the Louvre. I adored the interior decor and the white wine was delicious. Pop into the nearby Bo & Mie Boulangerie Creative for breads and croissants. The feta olive bread and the passion fruit donut-croissants were so yummy!!!

about Passy Café in Paris France
 

Le Passy Café

Le Passy Café is another delightful café in Passy! It was so lovely having a cup of coffee there. The flaky buttery croissants and this beautiful view of the Tour Eiffel are unforgettable moments.

about Café Fleurus in Paris France
 

Café Fleurus

Café Fleurus is a charming petit café by Le Jardin du Luxembourg. The Lillet with tonic water, lemon and ice was so refreshing on a warm summer day.
