Café and Historic Monument in Paris, France
La Palette is a café and "brasserie"-type restaurant in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is listed as a monument historique since 1984.
History.
The café was bought by Jean Louis Hilbert between the two wars and took the name "La Palette" in 1950. The establishment has two rooms: the tiny bar room, and the larger back room (which used to be a billiard hall) that is adorned with ceramics of the 1930–40s and numerous paintings.
The café was originally and still is a gathering place for students of the nearby Fine Arts National Higher School. Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were among the regular patrons. More recently, "La Palette" became a trendy place and attracted Parisian youth as well as tourists. Former French President Jacques Chirac was a regular patron of "La Palette".
"La Palette"'s front window and back room were listed as a Historical Monument on May 23, 1984.
In Paul Auster's novel "Invisible" (2009), the main character went to "La Palette" several times.
The café’s bar room served as a filming location for Taylor Swift’s “Begin Again” music video (2012).
Location.
The café is located close to station Mabillon of Paris Métro Line 10.
