LE FUMOIR
Located between the Louvre and Saint Germain l'Auxerrois church, the Fumoir has created a carefully calculated ambiance that is both cosy and solemn. In thinking of travellers that might not have something to read, this cafe also has over 3,000 books available for customers' use. Drinks-wise, the wine list has also been carefully thought out: a large choice of red wines as well as special vintages and champagnes. Aesthetically pleasing, the Fumoir often serves celebrities who come here to be seen. There is a Happy Hour from 6 to 8pm and a Tea Time from 3 to 7pm during which the menu is a bit more affordable, but you'll likely want to come back often after a first visit.
