Description
The establishment has two rooms: the tiny bar room, and the larger back room that is adorned with ceramics of the 1930–40s and numerous paintings.
The café was originally a gathering place for students of the nearby Fine Arts National Higher School. Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso and George Braque were among the regular patrons.[1] 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.[2]
La Palette's front window and back room were listed as a Historical Monument on May 23, 1984.[3]
In Paul Auster's novel Invisible (2009), the main character went to La Palette several times.
The café is located close to station Mabillon of Paris Métro Line 10.
