Opened in 1862, the Café de la Paix soon turned some heads. Initially only the café restaurant of the Grand Hôtel de la Paix, the concession was entrusted to Arthur Millon in 1897 to become the Café de la Paix.
A temporary cinema in the 1896s, regularly painted by Constantin Korovine, frequented by Emile Zola, Guy de Maupassant and Piotr Tchaikovsky at the end of the 19th century, the Café de la Paix is rooted in pop culture as well as in the hearts of Parisians.
So much so that the café room, its decor and several elements of the hotel housing it were listed as historical monuments in 1975.
