On my last visit to paris it was a particularly frigid and blustery day.
Angelica tea room paris.
Our four person group did have to wait 30 45 minutes in line to get in but it was totally worth it.
We were headed to tuileries gardens but realized the possibility of getting caught in a cold wet downpour was high.
The legendary angelina paris was such a treat to visit and dine in.
The skies were gray blue and threatened to open at any moment.
In addition the angelina delicatessen has a snack counter and room to sit and taste its delicacies in the two small rooms.
The angelina tearooms and restaurants became iconic places offering all gourmets around the world an ideal break throughout the day.
