Cafeterias of Paris

Well you can't always be sitting in smart little cafes sipping wine. Sometimes you feel the cultural call and you have to venture out to galleries and museums or even stores! But all is not lost, because there's even some pretty great and cheap 'cafeterias' where you can grab a quick lunch. Here's a few of my favorites so far.

The first is the cafeteria at the Petit Palais. Aside from the overabundance of pot lights, a spacious modern place with pretty good food and a view out onto a lovely garden. And the museum is free.

This is the cafeteria at the BHV store near the Marais. It's on the top floor and has a lovely view out over the roof tops of the Hotel de Ville. Virtually tourist free.

And this is the Cafe Carlu at the Cite de L'Architecture et du Patrimoine. You can get a decent sandwich, or even a couple of hot dishes, but again it's the view that just reminds you where you are...

And this one wins on its name alone. After seeing Napoleon's tomb you can sit down and have some lunch in the unglamorous, but glamorously named "Cafeteria Des Invalides" This is a place-mat that i stole from there a couple years ago and took home and have framed and hanging in my kitchen.
