Café Marly

1er ARRONDISSEMENT. Talk about a view that is both inspired and inspiring. The Louvre's main courtyard and I. M. Pei's glass pyramid are visible from the terrace and windows of this favorite haunt of impossibly chic Parisians. The tall columns, high vaulted ceilings and deep reds and golds of the decor lend an air of formality, but also a welcome respite to those who have been tromping through the museum for hours. Do note that the regular café service shuts down while it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. METRO: Palais-Royal Musée du Louvre
