La Palette is a café and brasserie-type restaurant in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is listed as a Historic Monument.

Description[]

The establishment has two rooms: the tiny bar room, and the larger back room that is adorned with ceramics of the 1930–40s and numerous paintings.

The café was originally a gathering place for students of the nearby Fine Arts National Higher School. Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were among the regular patrons.[1] 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.[2]

La Palette's front window and back room were listed as a Historical Monument on May 23, 1984.[3]

In Paul Auster's novel Invisible (2009), the main character went to La Palette several times.

The café is located close to station Mabillon of Paris Métro Line 10.
