Café des Beaux Arts, on Quai Malaquais in the 6th arrondissement, enjoys one of the capital's most enviable locations. Just across the Seine from the Louvre and only a short walk from the Institut de France and the École des Beaux-Arts, it attracts a lively mix of Parisians, students, artists and visitors.
Whether stopping for a morning espresso or lingering over lunch, the terrace offers the timeless pleasure of watching life unfold along one of Paris's most elegant riverfront streets.
The café takes its name from the nearby École des Beaux-Arts, France's prestigious School of Fine Arts. Founded in the 17th century, it trained generations of painters, sculptors and architects whose work shaped not only Paris but cities around the world. Today, it's still common to see art students sketching along the Seine or meeting in cafés nearby, continuing a tradition that has existed for centuries.
“The terrace is where Paris breathes — unhurried, curious and endlessly alive.”
