The High Tea

“There were masked balls at the Opera, races at Longchamp and Auteuil, and tea at the Ritz…” declared the Baronne de Stoeckl in her memoirs set during Paris’ Belle Epoque.

It was not until César Ritz introduced tea service at the Ritz Paris that the custom of drinking tea was adopted by Parisian high society.

The Ritz Paris is currently closed for an unprecedented restoration program and looks forward to welcoming you back in 2014.
