Did you know that on the 6th floor of the Printemps Haussmann women's department store, you'll find the Bleu Coupole restaurant and tea room? It's a discreet spot with a breathtaking view over the rooftops of Paris and the Sacré Coeur. Located beneath the department store's immense dome, you'll be charmed by its magical setting.
Every day, the spot transforms into an afternoon tea room, offering us the chance to settle down for a coffee, tea or even a gourmet tea time any day of the week, from 3pm to 7pm. An afternoon tea that's still affordable, costing €32 per person.
This tea time was imagined by Xavier Pistol for the savoury part and Bryan Esposito for the sweet part. A talented duo who have not finished delighting us.

The portions are generous. We have to admit, we didn't eat in the evening afterwards. The chicken mayonnaise and avocado-smoked tuna buns are tasty and spicy. It's not often that the savoury side of a sandwich is given a break from the classic club sandwich, so we couldn't agree more.
We loved the soft madeleines with their surprise lemon center, the all-chocolate éclair and the generous chocolate and pecan cookie. The excellent fresh exotic fruit salad is a welcome refreshment. As for pastries, the all-chocolate éclair with creamy Vanuatu choco is sure to please cocoa-lovers. Serve with tea, coffee, cappuccino or homemade hot chocolate.
If you feel like it, a selection of sweet and savoury dishes is also available à la carte, to enhance your tea time if you wish, or opt for a lighter snack. This allowed us to sample the excellent signature madeleine such as a mango and chestnut charlotte, a delight.
In short, for the ideal spot before or after a shopping trip, to sit under a beautiful cupola or just to enjoy a good tea time while admiring Paris, this is a good plan to try out.
