Few experiences capture the essence of Parisian luxury quite like an afternoon at Salon Proust, nestled within the iconic Ritz Hotel. Named after the illustrious French novelist Marcel Proust, who once found inspiration among its distinguished guests, this tea salon is a poetic tribute to elegance, refinement, and the art of indulgence.
Stepping into Salon Proust feels like entering a different era—one where time slows, and every detail is curated for pure pleasure. The décor exudes old-world charm with plush seating, gilded accents, and an ambiance that whispers sophistication. But the true masterpiece? The afternoon tea experience, an unparalleled journey into French patisserie artistry.
Curated by the celebrated Chef François Perret, the menu is a visual and gustatory delight. For approximately 100 euros per person, guests embark on a two-hour gastronomic escape that begins with the famed Baba au Rhum—delicately soaked in rum, tea, or velvety hot chocolate, then crowned with a cloud of whipped cream. The experience continues with an exquisite selection of pastries that are nothing short of edible art, each creation a testament to the richness of French culinary heritage.
