Carette Salon de Thé ☕️ Etc.

 

Have you been to Carette Salon de Thé?

There are just 2 salons since 1927.

A CARETTE at 4, Place du Trocadéro

And a CARETTE at 25, Place des Vosges.

Plus a crêpe 🥞 stand in Montmartre at 7, Place du Tertre.

So basically 3 total. As far as I know they are not expanding 🙏

Unlike once charming Angelina, with it’s insane lines & worldwide 🌍 expansion 🙀

I went on Friday afternoon for chocolat chaud and to draw ✍️ Carette cups ☕️

With all of Carette’s 

Luscious pastries…

Why did I picked a chausson aux pommes 🍎

I was sitting right next to the waiter’s station and

I could see all the goodies I’d missed - fresh strawberries 🍓 and towering whipped cream flashing by…

Don’t miss Carette’s famous signature hot chocolate ‘pour’

I read the decor was by Hubert de Givenchy, nephew of the designer, Monsieur de Givenchy. The Carette tea salons have an Art Deco-inspired atmosphere. Pink marble guss, chandeliers and columns, golden moldings and the large mirrors lend  a 30’s spirit.

Dress code is definitely casual 

Even if decor is Art Déco.

I am in love ❤️ with their silver chocolate pots.

I walked 🚶‍♀️home down rue du pas du Mule

A street with more patisseries like Babka Zana,

And next door BRIGAT, at #6

I browsed inside

Of course…but it was easy to resist.

I’m going to do a CARETTE Paris letter next 👍
