About Ten Belles

The café that launched Paris's third-wave coffee revolution — a narrow, light-filled Canal Saint-Martin spot with serious single-origin filter coffee, excellent pastries, and the relaxed friendly energy that makes it a mandatory stop for anyone serious about coffee in Paris.

Café de Flore

One of the world's most famous cafés — Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Camus all wrote here. The red banquettes, marble tables, and precise service haven't changed since 1887. The hot chocolate is extraordinary. Yes, it's a tourist institution; it's also genuinely wonderful.

☕

Merci Café

The all-day café inside Merci concept store in the Marais — a beautiful used-book-lined café in the basement serving excellent coffee and seasonal lunches. Perfect for a solo working afternoon surrounded by creative Parisians and international design travelers.
