SALON DE THE CHEZ CHARLOTTE MACARONS PIERRE HERME

Tea room in Paris Left Bank

This year we have opened a chic, unusual and welcoming tea room in the hotel.
And on the menu there are macaroons by Pierre Hermé, who needs no introduction as his creativity and daring have left his colleagues in the world of patisserie speechless with awe. His foie gras macaroons and his chocolate African masks and statuettes are memorable indeed.

To accompany Monsieur Hermé’s delicious creations, we offer a selection of teas from “Le Palais des Thés”, which sources its tea directly from tea-producing areas in Asia and Central America.

The opening of the tea room is the ideal opportunity to discover (or discover anew) our hotel with its artistic designer soul and its prime site in the most quintessentially Parisian part of Paris.

Be tempted and try a selection of bitter chocolate macaroons with a fine Darjeeling tea form the Spring 2008 harvest!

Open everyday from 2.30 pm to 6 pm.

Pierre Hermé Mystery.

Famous in France, Japan and the United States, the man that Vogue called “the Picasso of Pastry” revolutionized pastry-making with regard to taste and modernity.

At Pierre Hermé Paris, the pastry decors are discreet, the techniques constantly revised. Sweets for adult palates, the creations of Pierre Hermé, which have been emancipated from references to the past and childhood experiences, have entered the world of gastronomy.

With “pleasure as his only guide”, Pierre Hermé has invented a totally original world of tastes, sensations and pleasures.”

Why Charlotte, our tea room in Paris laft bank, choosed Le Palais des Thés ?

Le Palais des Thés began life when a group of around fifty tea enthusiasts decided to create their own company. In order to guarantee the freshness and quality of their teas, they decided that they themselves would travel to the growing regions to buy their supplies.
Through their regular visits to the tea estates, Men ans women from Le Palais des thés have gained knowledge of local working conditions, farming methods and health and safety standards, and can therefore oversee these aspects.

They have also met men and women who work in the tea industry and have discovered the rich cultures that this drink inspires.

Their demanding, humanist spirit still motivates them today. Throughout the year, they travel the world looking for the best pluckings and new, rare, delicious teas.

By visiting tea estates regularly and thereby establishing long-lasting relations with their suppliers, they are continuing their mission: to bring you the best quality teas and to share their travels and experience with you, while concerning themselves with environmental issues, working conditions on the estates and the fair trade practices to which they adhere.

With Le Palais des Thés, we invite you to discover the cultures of the world...
