This is NOT a secret gem of Paris, its just a secluded GEM!! 5 minutes walk from studio Nicole or apartment Lisette - it's definitely well known by locals and featured in many ' secret of Paris' lists ... but the part that keeps it a true GEM is at that the entry does not look like an entry. It's locked gate is a real deterrent to only those who know it's there or who are confident to persist and push ahead, fearless of everything that screams 'keep out', press the buzzer and walk ahead!!
Because of this no matter what, even being as well known as it is, it's alway has a feeling of secrecy of privacy of exclusivity, it certainly does filter out the numbers, weeds through the consumer tourist, and meets only the quiet quaint seeker who wants something MORE and special!
it's never been full or crowded when I've been there, its always just a scattering of Parisians and locals in the know... all you do is click on the buzzer and the gate will click open, walk down the cobblestone path and turn left into this, most magical garden cafe which is also an amazing cocktail lounge area inside and a dining room for dinners. The garden offers high tea in the afternoons or just breakfast. An episode of Emily was shot here too bien sur. Its not cheap, but It's incredible.
See you here tomorrow Ian and Cindy ❤️🥰✨💛
