Hidden inside the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, Loulou is naturally stylish: vintage banquettes and velvet curtains create a cosy salon-like dining space. However, the real treat here is the crisp-white summer terrace, overlooking the emerald green manicured Jardin du Carrousel and the inimitable majesty of the Louvre.
