Café de la Paix

La Rochelle


Sit inside to appreciate the full frescoed-ceiling-and-gilt-mirrored grandeur of this timeless historic cafe, around since the belle époque, and a timeless spot in the city to linger with locals over an early morning coffee or dusk-time cocktail. A handful of terrace tables outside cater to die-hard smokers.

Food options include breakfast (€7.50), lunchtime tartare and other typical French brasserie fare, as well as all-day sandwiches (€3 to €4.50), decadent ice-cream sundaes (€8) and crepes (€2.60 to €6.10).
