Tea time à la Française by Head Pastry Chef Olivier Lainé starting Septembre 1, 2026

A place where time seems to stand still, inviting shared confidences. Vintage books, wood paneling, the comfort of an open fire on a cold winter's day... in true Proustian style, sink into a cozy armchair and drink it all in. Revive the atmosphere of a classic literary salon at the same time as rediscovering childhood memories - thanks to a tea time ritual, where voluptuous treats issue an invitation to fond memories.

The Parisian tearoom

Rare teas, exquisite chocolates, a world tour of coffees and other delights. At Salon Proust, gourmet delicacies and l’art de vivre go hand in hand. It's a ritual observed with the utmost attention to detail.

Champagne buffet in the Salon Proust at the Ritz Paris

The Champagne Bar

From 06:00pm, Salon Proust turns up its festive side and takes on the allure of a Champagne bar, celebrating the finesse of the most elegant crus from France's finest houses. For those who appreciate truly exceptional bubbles, now's the time to raise a toast!

Proust's rediscovered memories

Loyal to the Ritz from the start, Marcel Proust would write, dine, and entertain here, all the while imbibing the vibrant life around him. Discreetly seated in a corner of the lobby - his favorite seat was right next to the fireplace - the great writer would spend hours observing guests in the grand gallery. This is how his characters came to life on the page, especially in his most famous novel À La Recherche du Temps Perdu.

Olivier Lainé’s rediscovered delights

Combining great finesse with an indulgent spirit, our Chef’s sweet creations recapture the magic of the great classics of French pastry, which he loves to reinterpret with a bold twist. Whether crisp, crunchy, or melt-in-the-mouth, his creations play on contrasts and textures to enhance the taste experience.
