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
[edit]The café was bought by Jean Louis Hilbert between the two wars and took the name La Palette in 1950.[1] The café was originally and still is a gathering place for students of the nearby Fine Arts National Higher School.[2] La Palette's front window and back room were listed as a Historical Monument on 23 May 1984.[3]
Interior
[edit]
The establishment has two rooms: the tiny bar room, and the larger back room (which used to be a billiard hall[4]) that is adorned with ceramics of the 1930–40s and numerous paintings.
Notable patrons
[edit]Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were among the regular patrons.[5] 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.[6]
In popular culture
[edit]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
[edit]The café is located close to station Mabillon of Paris Métro Line 10.
