La Palette is a café and brasserie-type restaurant in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is listed as a monument historique since 1984.
The café was bought by Jean Louis Hilbert between the two wars and took the name La Palette in 1950.[1] The establishment has two rooms: the tiny bar room, and the larger back room (which used to be a billiard hall[2]) that is adorned with ceramics of the 1930–40s and numerous paintings.
The café was originally and still is a gathering place for students of the nearby Fine Arts National Higher School.[3] Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were among the regular patrons.[4] More recently, La Palette became a trendy place and attracted Parisian youth as well as tourists. Former French President Jacques Chirac was a regular patron of La Palette.[5]
La Palette's front window and back room were listed as a Historical Monument on May 23, 1984.[6]
In Paul Auster's novel Invisible (2009), the main character went to La Palette several times.
The café’s bar room served as a filming location for Taylor Swift’s “Begin Again” music video (2012).
