Cafes between Eiffel Tower and Louvre?

I can't help you with establishments but the most romantic moment of my life happened as my wife and I walked along the river after stopping at the Eiffel Tower. There are beer and drink vendors along the walk. We bought a couple of beers, and then sat down, sippping the beers, chatting about how fortunate our lives together have been. Then, as if we were in a scene in a movie, she threw her arms around my neck and pulled me in for a big, sloppy kiss -- and said with the strongest voice, "I love you SO much!"

I don't blame the beer, but I know you can buy some and sit and watch the river...

We walked back to Notre Dame, so the walk wasn't difficult -- maybe because I was floating., and not from the beer.

Try google maps, look at directions on foot from your starting point and destination, and plug in search for restaurants or cafes...honestly there really aren't a lot of cafes on that walk, like along the river.

When you say you are staying near the Eiffel Tower, where? Are you staying in the 7th / Rue Cler area? Your best bet is in that area, or as you mentioned, Le Nemours is very nice but it is near your destination and not "along" the route, just past the Louvre. In between these areas, not much comes to mind...

That's a fairly sterile stretch, and I wouldn't want to spend my energy walking it if I had other activities planned for the day that would require my feet, back, leg muscles. It gets more interesting once you cross over to the right bank and walk through the Tuileries. The restaurants open at noon in the Tuileries. If you are walking at the river level, it's a lot of cobblestones. Unless someone has weeks of experience walking on cobbies, it will take more energy and leg/ ankle muscle. When we moved to a historic town where every street was cobbled, it took me three weeks to develop the skill. My husband walked fine from day 1.
Not a walk that I'd want to do either. You could always split up and meet at Le Nemours. I assume you know the Louvre is closed on Tuesdays and are going elsewhere.

Thanks
If Le Nemours is decent then that should work for a cafe.
Are there street vendors at river level?
Is the walk along the river from the Eiffel Tower to Le Nemous an enjoyable one to see some sites?

We are staying at Hotel Muguet, not too far from Rue Cler. Any Cafes around here you would recommend?

I was planning on walking to see Sainte Chapelle and whatever else I can and then doing a river cruise.

Thanks for the help.

I’ll admit I’m bit confused by the question. If the walk is a turnoff for members of your party, why not take public transportation and save your time and energy for other activities?

I wouldn’t say that walking is a no go for the rest of my group. They are all fit enough - they just need some motivation to go more than a block or two. A beautiful walk along the Seine with a lovely lunch at the end sounds motivating to me.

I’ve heard Paris has many great walks. If there are better ones please let me know. I don’t want to waste our time.

Check out Rick's France or Paris book; he usually includes interesting walks.

And count me among those who find any walk in Paris worth the time. But if your companions are reluctant walkers, take the metro or bus to the Louvre, then enjoy a nice lunch nearby. Or better yet, tell them you'll meet them there later, and you go enjoy a lovely walk along the Seine.

Good, interesting walking areas: Montmartre (hilly, sometimes poses a physical challenge, but very fun, plenty of places to eat, shops, etc), and for walking think parks, like Jardin du Luxembourg, done as part of a larger walk in the St Germain des Pres neighborhood.

Hi vegas, there are many nice cafes and restaurants in the area where you are staying. Our favorite Hotel Empereur is near your hotel so we’re very familiar with the area. If it’s a nice day, I’d recommend taking your friends to the Café Des Tuileries, an outdoor cafe in the gardens leading to the Louvre. I’ve had several nice lunches and coffee breaks there and enjoyed it very much. It’s a beautiful setting. I see there are some negative reviews on TA but that was not my experience. I hope you have a wonderful time in Paris ❤️

Edit - it’s an easy walk from your hotel. Wander past Napoleon’s Tomb, cross the Pont Alexandre III (bridge) and walk towards Place de la Concorde. You’ll be walking along the Seine at the street level (sidewalks, no cobblestones). Go through the gates to the Tuileries Garden. The Orangerie Museum (Monet’s waterlilies) is on your right. The cafe is straight ahead on your right. Keep walking and you’ll see the Louvre pyramid. Paris is a great city for walking and wandering!

Thanks. That cafe sounds great. If the walk along the Seine isn’t the greatest maybe we would ride to Saint Chapelle walk around the islands and then have have time to check out someplace else.

Much of the right bank of the Seine the walkway is the old highway and thus paved and easy walking filled with little cafes and places to picnic and there are not cobbles. (in fact I have never encountered cobble stone in Paris. Many streets are paved with square paving stones called 'sets' but the rounded cobbles that are indeed very hard to walk on are quite rare-- I encountered those in Spain a lot, but never in Paris). Set paved streets are not difficult to walk on.

We often walk from the Eiffel Tower to the Montparnasse area where there are tons of great little brasseries and many very good crepe restaurants.

Thanks. That sounds like a nice destination to walk to. Especially from our hotel. Google says to mostly take Duquesene and Montparnasse. More scenic routes?
