My favorite Paris museum café and restaurant.


The arts have given me a great deal of inspiration and have empowered me. I really like museums. When I feel little tired, I drop in for coffee or tea there. The museum café/restaurant plays a great role in relaxing me and adding to my sense of enjoyment in whatever place I am visiting. I have been to Paris several times. It has the greatest museums in the world.


1. Cafe Marly in the Louvre museum
It is located in the Richelieu wing of the Louvre Museum. The view is fantastic. You can see the entrance of the glass pyramid and Denon wing from the terrace. It is open from 8am until midnight. A really sophisticated time can be had here, overlooking the courtyard in the Louvre Palace.

2. Restaurant ‘Cristal Room Baccarat’ in the Musee Baccarat.
This is located to the south west of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Foods are served in vessels made of gorgeous Baccarat glass. They have a soft appearance and are pleasant to touch. They also sparkle like diamonds. The toilet is special. You must try it.

3. Musée d'Orsay
This building used to be the Orsay train station and hotel. It was built to accommodate an influx of people for the Paris Exposition of 1900. From the window, you can see the Seine. The view is really stunning. The décor of the rooms is gorgeous and reminds you of a 19th century palace.

The café and restaurant in the museum add to its charm. It is a pleasure to enjoy the arts here but, after doing the rounds, eyes and feet can end up very tired. The café and restaurant are nice places to relax in and gather strength for further museum appreciation.

I want to go to Louvre Museum very much! The pyramid muches buildings and air around there, doesn't it? I want to look at it through my eyes!
Do you recommend any other museum's cafe except cafes in your essay?
