Café Richelieu

The Café Richelieu is housed in the former Ministry of Finance, near the lush reds and golds of the Napoléon III apartments. Jean-Michel Wilmotte designed the modernist café interior and decorated its 3 rooms in collaboration with artists Daniel Buren and Jean-Pierre Raynaud. The Café Richelieu can seat 60 guests for dinner and accommodate up to 150 guests for breakfast or cocktails.
This prestigious setting is further enhanced by a splendid view of the Louvre Pyramid and a terrace overlooking the Cour Napoléon.

Surface area: 125 m²
- Tuesday morning, private museum visit included: € 8,500 (plus tax)
- Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, after 6 p.m.: € 8,500 (plus tax)
