Champagne and Chocolates - must be Paris! — A short walk from the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Élysées lies a cosy and inviting Champagne bar where guests can choose from some of the finest champagnes produced in France.
Alternatively, you might want to try the latest cocktail making a buzz. Either way, the Flute Bar is a refuge and a place to relax surrounded by subtle luxuries such as the Crystal Flutes from Baccarat and rich, opulent furnishings.
If you are not sure whether you should choose a glass of Krug, Bollinger, Billecart-Salmon or a Veuve Clicquot, enquire about the degustation of 3 champagnes for 19 euros. This venue is distinctly different to other bars in Paris. Drinks can be accompanied with a light appetiser of caviar or decadent chocolates from Ladurée guaranteed not spoil the evening meal.

To ensure that you have your own table use the online booking facility via their site below. Jazz fans should visit Wednesday evenings or for a more upbeat tempo, 'soirée avec' the Dj Friday & Saturday evenings.
For those in Paris for more than a few days why not enquire about their Champagne courses held once a month.

Open Tuesday to Saturday 5pm till 2am.
Staff speak English and there's no entrance fee, end the day in a sumptuous corner of Paris . Happy Hour 5pm till 8pm every Tuesday.
