Le Choupinet

Why take a photo here?
Because it’s the home of Paris’s giant teddy bears! At Café Le Choupinet, enormous plush bears sit at the tables, lean out the windows, and sometimes even “hug” visitors. This playful setup has made it one of the city’s quirkiest and most joyful Instagram spots.

Best time to shoot:
Daytime, when the terrace is open and filled with bears. Sunny afternoons bring out the fun vibe best.

Pro tip:
Capture a wide shot of the café with the bears on the terrace for the full effect. Or take a close-up with one of the teddy bears as if you’re having coffee together — guaranteed likes.
