Monsieur Bleu, for an Art Deco atmosphere

Situated on the Left Bank, in the capital’s very elegant 16^th arrondissement, the Monsieur Bleu bar offers a beautifully designed and arty setting within the Palais de Tokyo contemporary art museum.

A bonus for smokers is the heated terrace!

A smoking-room atmosphere at the Fumoir

All Parisians know and love this bar, located opposite the Louvre and behind the Rue de Rivoli. With its snug feel, shelves groaning with books, and Chesterfield leather armchairs in which to relax, the Fumoir offers the ideal retreat for a few hours of reading or for enjoying a pastry amidst elegant and calm surroundings at the end of the day.

Teddy bear madness in Teddy's bar

If you’re looking for a bar where you can down some shots in a low-key atmosphere, then Teddy's Bar is for you! This cult bar in the Sorbonne student district, with its soft toy-strewn décor, is always busy during its extended happy hours. So, after an evening’s visit, you’ll probably be delighted to return to your spacious and comfortable room at the Hotel Eden Paris, located on the Left Bank, in the 15^th arrondissement.
