A tea time is a luxurious afternoon ritual that typically includes a selection of fine teas, delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and exquisite pastries. The menu often changes with the seasons, offering fresh and seasonal ingredients to complement the experience. In the summer, it's important to check ahead, as some hotels may not offer their tea time service during this period. Special themed menus are often created for holidays like Christmas and Easter, featuring festive treats and seasonal flavors, making tea time a unique and ever-changing experience throughout the year.

I have gathered a list of 10 tea times that I have personally tested or plan to try. I'm also sharing my recommendations with you. The third one is my favorite, and the one I recommend to my friends :) 

Paris 1er

No list of luxury tea times in Paris would be complete without mentioning the iconic Ritz Paris. Served in the Salon Proust, tea time here is an ode to French elegance, with madeleines and pastries inspired by the Belle Époque. The setting is intimate and luxurious, with plush velvet chairs and a roaring fireplace creating an inviting atmosphere.

Bonjour! I’m thrilled to share my passion for travel with you. Growing up in the breathtaking French Alps, studying in the sunny French Riviera in Aix-en-Provence (yes, just like Bradley Cooper!) and in the world-renowned wine region of Burgundy, I’ve developed a deep connection with France and its diverse landscapes. Now based in Paris (like Emily), I take every opportunity to travel and explore new cultures, and I’m excited to pass on the knowledge I’ve gathered from my adventures. I believe travel is more than just visiting places—it's about experiencing them deeply, connecting with the locals, and uncovering hidden gems that make each destination unique. I speak French, English, and Spanish, allowing me to navigate different cultures with ease, and I use that to create authentic, insightful guides that go beyond the typical tourist spots. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned explorer, I’m here to make your journey smoother, more enriching, and full of memories. With my unique perspective and deep local knowledge, you’ll feel like you’ve got a friend guiding you every step of the way. Let’s make your next trip unforgettable!
