Paris is full of unique and inspiring places where you can combine a delicious break with artistic activity. Whether you’re passionate about ceramic painting, sculpting, or making handcrafted objects, here are three creative cafes where you can let your imagination run wild while enjoying a good cappuccino.

La Papoterie: The Perfect Blend of Art and Friendliness

Inspired by the ceramic cafes in Montreal, La Papoterie has become a must-visit spot for creative leisure lovers in Paris. Since opening in 2020, just steps away from the FABRIC Hotel, and expanding to new locations in the 9th and 2nd arrondissements, this concept invites visitors to express their creativity in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere.

La Papoterie offers a variety of ceramic painting workshops, with a wide selection of pieces to personalize. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, the team will guide you to ensure you have a rewarding and relaxing experience. This is all accompanied by a delicious menu featuring artisan drinks and healthy snacks.

An ideal place to create, chat, and relax!

Café Geneviève: Ceramic Painting and Culinary Pleasures

Located in the heart of Paris, Café Geneviève, like La Papoterie, is a place where you can personalize ceramic objects while enjoying a warm atmosphere.

The concept is simple: choose a piece from a wide collection (cups, plates, vases...), let your imagination flow by decorating it with paints and techniques guided by the team, and then leave it with the café artisans for glazing and firing. A few days later, you can pick up your creation, ready to be used daily.

If you just want to enjoy a gourmet break, Café Geneviève offers a selection of organic teas, ethical coffees, and artisan drinks, paired with homemade sweets.

L’Étagère Café: The À la Carte Workshop

For curious minds and hands-on enthusiasts, L’Étagère Café is the perfect place to try out various creative activities. Located in the 11th arrondissement, this café-workshop offers a playful and accessible approach: simply reserve a time slot online and choose the object you want to make, from a wide range of creations (vegetable wax candles, custom stamps, watercolor, crochet...).

Those who prefer to work independently can use the provided materials, while those who want guidance can join workshops led by professionals. The varied offer is regularly renewed, promising new discoveries with each visit.

An inspiring place where you come to create, learn, and be surprised.
