Restaurant La Cour du Louvre
Restaurant
Open Details
For dinner, go to La Cour du Louvre, a cosy restaurant with French and Mediterranean cuisine. This restaurant is notable for the fact that the traditions of the south of France are recreated here — and not just the culinary ones.
This is expressed in both the original interior and the offerings that you’ll find on the menu. There are several halls here: some of them are very restrained and elegant in their interior decoration, and some resemble as much as possible the colourful southern restaurants of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
