Café and terrace Paumier
PAUMIER offers a range of light meals tailored to the modern lunch break: fast service, healthy and delicious cuisine that is environmentally friendly and predominantly vegetarian. The menu changes with the seasons, with the apple often taking centre stage as its signature ingredient.
The term paumier once referred to someone involved in the jeu de paume, a traditional French racket sport and an ancestor of modern tennis. The paumier was responsible for supplying balls, making rackets and serving food and drink to players. It is this spirit of hospitality that Éditions Délicieuses has sought to revive at the Jeu de Paume with PAUMIER, a café conceived as a natural extension of the museum experience.
A warm and welcoming spot where visitors can take a break after exploring an exhibition, enjoy lunch before a film screening or share a drink at the end of the day.
The concise, seasonal menu focuses on light, predominantly vegetarian cuisine, prepared using fresh produce from local growers, alongside organic and IGP-certified products. It evolves with the seasons, with the apple as its culinary theme.
Made up of circles reminiscent of balls in motion, the logo depicts an apple, signalling a place to eat while playfully blurring the distinction between paume (palm) and pomme (apple). The name evokes the building’s past, while the dotted pattern tells the story of what it has become: an arts centre dedicated to the image in all its forms.
