Cafe Laurent

Quartier de la Monnaie -PLBE- Paris - La Belle Époque

The history of the Hôtel d'Aubusson is rooted in a 17th-century townhouse in Paris that was converted into a luxury boutique hotel in the mid-1990s, retaining many of its original architectural features. The building has a long history as a hub for Parisian intellectuals and artists, particularly through its Café Laurent, which has been a popular meeting spot since 1690. Literary figures like Voltaire, Rousseau, Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir were patrons, and the hotel's cellar famously housed the jazz club Café Tabou in the mid-20th century.
