Pastry expertise...

When Jean Carette opened his tea room on Place du Trocadéro in 1927, he wanted it to become the ultimate destination for Parisian indulgence.

Thanks to its founder's pastry craftsmanship and exacting standards, Maison Carette became a gathering place for epicureans, who flocked here to savour the finest French pastries.
