This stunning tea room is situated in the Musée Jacquemart-André, a private mansion completed in 1875 to house the fine works of art collected by Edouard André and his wife Nélie Jacquemart. After his death she bequeathed the mansion and its collections to the Institut de France as a museum.
The room seen here was the mansion's dining room. It was a delightful déjeuner, a royal treat, with Peter (Peter's Paris), Mary G, and her friend Pat from the US.

I love this salon de thé and its atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteVery cosy and comfortable!
ReplyDeleteHello Genie:
ReplyDeleteA royal treat indeed to dine in such regal surroundings. We should have loved it and we are certain that your friends did too.
It looks like the kind of place that is a well kept Parisian secret, so we are grateful to have the insider information!!!
Very opulent indeed. Not every house could handle a painting that size.
ReplyDeleteSuch a grand space, beautifully captured, I love how the lamps frame the image. xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful room! I hadn't heard of this museum, it sounds lovely. I will bookmark it and remember it for the next trip.
ReplyDeleteThat is just gorgeous, must remember this one when I come to Paris. Diane
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place, simply stunning! Gorgeous painting, chandelier, and ceiling.
ReplyDeleteOh, classy, classy! I'm going to make this a must on my next trip.
ReplyDeleteNice and fancy! Quite a few of those places in the Marais.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place and your photo is perfect.
ReplyDeleteVery reminiscent of the snack bar at the Musée D'Orsay.
ReplyDeleteWould love to be having lunch there right now (instead of here at my desk at work)! I'm glad Mme. Jacquemart decided to share her beautiful home and collection.
ReplyDeleteI think that this museum and the nearby Nissim de Camondo are both often overlooked. Both are great gems and this dining room -- so elegant!
ReplyDeleteI bet they don't serve tea in mugs here!It looks very grand and very expensive! You have captured a lovely ambiance in this picture...I can imagine a small quartet in the corner playing period music.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant, would be nice to hang out with a few close friends here... great ambiance.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very special place. Not for every day, but for now and then.
ReplyDeleteSo, you are having dinner tonight with a Hartford friend? I didn't work in the health care field, so probably I don't know her. Hope you had fun.
The lunch was reasonably priced and delicious. We were so well behaved and Peter treated us to Champagne... We were well-behaved even "after" the Champagne.
ReplyDeleteThe dessert cart was divine!
Bises,

ReplyDeleteOh la la! Genie, tres elegant dining room, would be such a pleasure to lunch here.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I ate lunch there a few years ago. I couldn't resist the desserts. :) Great time! I'd love to see the museum again.
