City Guide: Paris
Le Fumoir
Take a step back in time at this chef-driven café and salon de thé with direct views of the Louvre.
Walking in to Le Fumoir is like stepping into a 1930s film set of Paris. The crowd is gorgeous, the club chairs and banquettes beckon, and the patio directly facing the Musée du Louvre is packed. This environment is ideal for that afternoon pause for another obligatory glass of wine, before tackling more of Paris’s food scene. And if the swank atmosphere and view isn’t enough to keep your attention there is a wide selection of international press to peruse and a reliable menu from snacks to more substantial and visual plates.
