It's not necessarily bad to say that the cafes in Paris are your main reasons for visiting the city. They're a huge part of the charm of the French capital, after all. As much as the rest of the world tries to replicate their magic, the cafes in Paris are truly something else. Even more so if they're in a good location, say, along the
Champs-Élysées, perhaps? As the most famous avenue in the city, there's no denying that the cafes here are arguably a cut above the rest. Especially Café Le Carré Élysée, L'Arc Café, Café Blanc, Café Belloy, and Fleurus Café, to name a few!
Café Belloy
Among all the cafes in Paris, Café Belloy is one of the very few located near the Arc de Triomphe. Though you can't exactly see the iconic landmark from here, it's only a short walk away! So after seeing the famous arc in person, this cafe is one of the best places for you to kick back, relax, and take a much-deserved coffee break. Of course, it helps that they serve delicious food at great prices here. There's some savory onion soup, mouthwatering duck confit, and even delicious beer too! What's not to love?

L'Arc Café
Located on Avenue Carnot, L'Arc Café is also fairly near the Arc de Triomphe. Thus making it another great place to take a break after visiting the monument. It's here where you can enjoy some delectable classics, not the least of which is the famous escargot! If you fancy yourself an haute cuisine connoisseur, then you should be more than willing to this dish. Don't worry! They season and butter it up nicely so that you'll taste its exceptional flavors at your first bite. Before you know it, you'll be coming back to L'Arc Café for more!

Café Le Carré Élysée
Located on Avenue de Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the
8th arrondissement, Café Le Carré Élysée is only a hop and a skip away from the iconic Champs-Élysées. It's a fairly wide hotspot with an open terrace area, perfect for when you want to enjoy the bright sunshine as you indulge in freshly-baked treats and warm drinks. Especially a well-made croquet madame for brunch! And as far as ambiance is concerned, what this place offers is pretty much the standard among all the other charming cafes in Paris. It's the pleasant experience that you went to the French capital for.

Café Blanc
Just as its name suggests, white coffee is Café Blanc's specialty. If you're not into the bitter espresso that most
Parisians go for, this is the place for you. You'll get more cream and foam in your coffee—even milk too—here than in any of the other cafes in Paris! Don't worry! Creamy coffee still pairs well with many of the delectable treats on the cafe's menu. They include warm goat cheese salad with honey, Rigatoni with summer truffle cream, and even a slice of New York Cheesecake! Do note that Café Blanc is located on Rue Croix des Petits Champ, which is around the end of Champs-Élysées.

Fleurus Café
And finally, there's Fleurus Café on Avenue Kléber. Truth be told, this place isn't exactly on Avenue de Champs-Élysées itself, but it's near enough to make it onto this list. And you shouldn't overlook this cafe just because of its location either! Or else you'll miss the delicious French dishes that they serve. Where else can you get ravioli made with four different types of
French cheeses? Or something as unique-sounding as a blue burger? Of course, you shouldn't forget their beverages too! Fleurus Café offers both hot coffee and fine wine. Choose the one that'll complete your meal in the most delicious way possible!
