Le Consulat

Why take a photo here?
Le Consulat is one of Montmartre’s most iconic cafés. With its white façade, bold red trim, and vintage lettering, it has the look of a Paris postcard brought to life. Its charm lies in its authenticity — an old corner café that has kept its character for generations, making it a must for both painters of the past and Instagrammers today.

Best time to shoot:
Late afternoon when the warm light hits the façade, or evening when the café comes alive with locals and visitors.

Pro tip:
For the classic Instagram angle, shoot from across the street to capture the full corner view. Want to stand out? Take a lifestyle shot sitting at the terrace with the old streets of Montmartre in the background.
