DAY 1: MUSÉE RODIN >
25. Le Café du Musée (Cafe/Brasserie)
Le Café du Musée is a a quaint, typically Parisian café located near the Musée Rodin. I only mention it, because it’s here. However, if you’re going to be visiting the Musée Rodin anyway, I would recommend just eating in there (especially for those requiring an accessible toilet – it has LOTS of space).
Address: 17 Bd des Invalides, 75007 Paris, France
Website: https://cafe-du-musee-paris.eatbu.com/
Accessible. No accessible toilet though – and the nearest public toilet* is some way away. Technically, you could pay to get into the Musée Rodin and use the accessible toilet there – but there is an excellent cafe in there anyway.
*Square Samuel Rousseu.
This is one of those Paris hidden gems that very few tourists ever stumble across. You really need to know that it actually exists (so it’s mainly just used by locals – especially young Parisian families, as there is also a toddlers’ playground within the park).
It’s also the location of the only accessible public toilet in the area. Not one of the normal Patrick Jouin designed automatic sanisettes though, and as it’s inside the little park, and the park closes at night, then the toilet is only available when the park is open (opening times – vary by season). But it’s definitely worth checking out.
PIC & MAP (showing the location of the accessible toilet in Square Samuel Rousseu).
If you’re coming here specifically because you are looking for a pavement cafe/restaurant which has access to an accessible public toilet, then I would definitely recommed that you just eat there at Restaurant Mon Square. Other than it not having an accessible toilet of its own (but the accessible public toilet is right there in front of you), Mon Square is otherwise accessible. It’s also a wonderful restaurant.
26. Arpège (French Haute Cuisine)
