Thanks to the Gourmet Pass, enjoy a priority entrance to the museum, skipping the line to the ticket booths.[readmore]This experience will also allow you to have lunch at the Café Richelieu, a well-known address situated inside the museum. Inaugurated in 2010 at merely a few meters from Napoleon III's apartments, this establishment offers a service comprised of French pastries. A refined and typical example of French gastronomy, to enjoy fully in a privileged setting. 

The large plate-glass windows of this establishment give on a great view of the Louvre's inner court and its famous glass pyramid. A terrace, open during the summer, allows for a lovely, quiet lunch while enjoying an exceptional panorama set on the old palace of the Kings of France. Its menu is entirely based on the one proposed within the Angelina establishments, a house inaugurated more than a century ago, by the famous Austrian confectioner, Rumpelmayer, in honour of his daughter. Many celebrities have had lunch here, including Coco Chanel and the writer Marcel Proust.
