As the chill sets in and evening comes early, we are drawn to the pleasures of a comforting hot drink in welcoming surroundings. The grandest maisons parisiennes have adopted the quintessentially English tradition of teatime and offer moments of pure delight in sumptuous settings. Treat yourself to a gourmet break in the heart of winter, at 5 p.m. sharp, of course ...
The tea rooms of the biggest Parisian hotels
There’s no need to go to London for sandwiches and pastries accompanied by a cup of tea. On the Champs-Elysées, you can discover the joys of Joy du Fouquet’s, overlooking a verdant terrace. Isolated from the hubbub of the street, it offers the ideal setting in which to savour the creations of Nicolas Paciello. A little further on, the Hotel Le Bristol has managed to unite English tradition with French elegance and savoir-faire. Amidst a decor evocative of Marie-Antoinette in which Louis XV furniture adds a resolutely classic design touch, you’ll relish delicacies by Eric Frechon and his chef pâtissier Pascal Hainigue.
Teatime reinvented
Teatime nourishes all kinds of inspiration. Come and discover the creations of Dalloyau, which has taken over the prestigious space under the glass roof of the Samaritaine department store. Amidst the refined decor bathed in natural light, you can taste the absolutely perfect delicacies which have built the reputation of this pâtisserie. Or, for a timeless break, head to the Bauhinia tea room. Its impressive selection of teas and other hot drinks is accompanied by the creations of Maxence Barbot, which provide an exquisite taste experience.
As the afternoon ends, treat yourself to a comforting gourmet break with tea and pâtisseries. The greatest Parisian chefs compete in creativity to offer you their interpretation of teatime. Ask your Paris France Hotel team for advice and we’ll be happy to share our favourite teatime addresses with you ...
