Just steps from the Luxembourg Gardens, Hôtel des Mines invites you to discover the gourmet pleasures of autumn in Paris. This season is perfect for strolls punctuated by sweet breaks, between exceptional pastries and comforting hot chocolates.
Must-try autumn pastries
Paris is full of renowned patisseries that reinvent seasonal flavors each year. Not far from the hotel, Carl Marletti Patisserie delights with refined creations: fig tarts, Mont-Blancs, and reinvented éclairs. A little further north, Pierre Hermé showcases his famous macarons with autumnal flavors such as chestnut and rich chocolate. For a more traditional experience, head to Gérard Mulot in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where brioches and caramelized apple tarts are sure to awaken your taste buds.
The best hot chocolates in Paris
As temperatures drop, nothing beats a cup of rich, velvety hot chocolate. Just a short walk away, Café de Flore remains a legendary spot to savor a warm drink in a historic setting. For a more intimate experience, Un Dimanche à Paris, located in a charming cobblestone courtyard, serves a thick, delicately flavored chocolate. And of course, Angelina on Rue de Rivoli is world-famous for its “L’Africain” hot chocolate, a true Parisian institution to enjoy after a visit to the Louvre.
A stay full of gourmet delights
Staying at Hôtel des Mines means enjoying an ideal location to combine cultural discoveries with gourmet experiences. Between autumn strolls and sweet indulgences, let yourself be charmed by the warm and flavorful side of Paris.
