The interior décor with its marble topped tables, gilded
ironwork and mirrors makes for a really traditional stop to rest those weary legs after
you have been trudging around The Louvre which
is situated just opposite Angelina's.
This traditional Parisian café doesn't
actually have air conditioning, so it can get rather stifling inside on a hot day and if
you leave it until late in the morning, you could end up in quite a queue just to get a
seat. But there is a lovely pastry counter near the entrance, so you could always
purchase something from here and enjoy it within the Tuilleries gardens that are just a
short walk across the street.
Located in the arcades of the Rue de Rivoli in the 1st Arrondissement of Paris they serve some excellent salads and quiches plus
light dinners, but it is the chocolate lovers that flock here. And although it is
popular both with Parisians and tourists, very little English is spoken, so it may be an
idea to brush up on a few bits of French, like knowing that their signature hot chocolate
is called chocolat L'Africain.
