A 1900 corner café at Ledru-Rollin and rue de Charonne, once the neighbourhood zinc 'Le Saumur'; its Art Nouveau façade is listed as a historic monument and the inventory calls it the finest modern-style example in Paris. Inside are the original curved wood mirrors and ceramic panels of the seasons.

Good to know

  • Locals use it as a corner café: a coffee at the bar in the morning, a drink on the big terrace in the afternoon. Paris Zigzag says the decor beats the food.
  • Look for the old pillar sign advertising coffee at 30 centimes.
