[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **Estimated per person** Time to allow **Allow 45–75 minutes** Place **Place des Vosges, Paris** 01 / The experience ### Pâtisserie beneath the arches. $ EUR estimates per person: $ up to €35 · $$ up to €80 · $$$ up to €150 · $$$$ above €150. Meal supplements and extra drinks increase the total. French pâtisserie, hot chocolate & light meals Carette’s [Place des Vosges]() salon makes the square’s architecture part of a café stop. Pale stone arches frame the entrance and covered tables, while the red brick and tall windows continue above. The low green terrace barriers and wicker chairs give the tea room a recognisable frontage without separating it from the life of the arcade. It is a place to sit within the square’s perimeter rather than only look at it from the garden. #### The vaulted salon and pastry counter Inside, the pâtisserie counter becomes the centre of attention. Pastries and viennoiseries sit beneath brass lamps within a stone-vaulted setting, with glazed doors connecting the room to the arcade. The counter, indoor tables and covered outdoor seats offer different experiences of the same address. A quick look at the pastry selection and a longer table-service stop involve rather different amounts of time. The house is known for French pâtisserie, macarons and hot chocolate. Millefeuille, éclairs, fruit pastries, croissants and pains au chocolat belong to that broader repertoire, with availability changing through the day. The hot chocolate and a pastry make a substantial sweet break; savoury café dishes allow the visit to become a light meal. The attraction is the combination of the food and the setting, rather than an elaborate tasting format. #### The Place des Vosges branch Carette began at Trocadéro in 1927; this is its separate [Place des Vosges]() branch in the [Marais]() . That distinction matters when choosing an address or looking at photographs. Here, the historic arcade and the view into the square define the visit, with [Victor Hugo’s house]() and the garden close by. The frontage, vaulted interior and covered seating also offer useful alternatives as the weather changes. A stop works naturally between the smaller museums and the square itself. Busy periods can bring a wait for a table, so a fixed museum admission should have some room around it. The covered tables keep the square in view, while the indoor pastry counter gives the same stop a more enclosed setting. ![Carette – Place des Vosges, Paris]() Cafés & bakeries **Carette – Place des Vosges** Paris In pictures ### The full gallery. 02 / The essentials ### Carette – Place des Vosges: visit essentials 1. 01 Place des Vosges 2. 02 Allow 45–75 minutes 3. 03 Daily 07:30–23:30.
