Café Richelieu, the legendary tearoom
Located at the heart of the world’s most famous museum, in the Richelieu Wing, just steps away from Napoleon III’s apartments, Café Richelieu occupies the former office of the Minister of Finance.
The café’s refined and enchanting ambiance, enhanced by Daniel Buren’s creation “Comme un rayon de soleil”, makes it the perfect setting for hosting an exceptional dinner.
The café opens onto terraces that are accessible on sunny days, offering visitors a stunning view of the Napoleon Courtyard and the Louvre Pyramid.
Café Mollien, between the Mona Lisa and sweet indulgences
Directly adjacent to the room housing The Mona Lisa and overlooking the Napoleon Courtyard and the Carrousel Garden, Café Mollien is situated on the landing of the Mollien Staircase. From its terrace, it offers an unparalleled view of the iconic Louvre Pyramid. This delicate and timeless space is further enhanced by Charles-Louis Müller’s painting “La Gloire distribuant des couronnes aux Arts” adorning the ceiling, all set within a design created by Mathieu Lehanneur himself.
The grandeur of these spaces makes it the perfect setting for prestigious cocktail receptions or exceptional dinners.
The Pyramid, the glass roof of all dreams

Designed by architect Ieoh Ming Pei and located at the heart of the Napoleon Courtyard, the Louvre Pyramid symbolizes a museum open to the world. An unmissable landmark in the Parisian architectural landscape, the Louvre Pyramid is a unique and extraordinary event venue for hosting large-scale receptions.
