Café de Buci, cafe in Paris
Café de Buci is a café in the 6th arrondissement of Paris located on Rue de Buci, established in the early 19th century and designated as a historic monument. The building features a classic stone facade, tall windows, and an outdoor terrace that blend with the historic character of the neighborhood.
The café was established in the early 19th century and its facade was officially protected as a historic monument in 1928. During the political upheavals of the 19th century, particularly after the coup of 1851, the establishment served as a refuge for those fleeing persecution.
The café served as a gathering place for artists, writers, and local residents who came together to exchange ideas and discuss their work. Its tradition reflects the spirit of Parisian intellectual life, where people from different walks of life could meet and share their passions.
The café is easily accessible by metro lines 4 and 7, which stop near Rue de Buci. Visitors can combine a visit with a walk through the neighborhood, as there are many small shops, bakeries, and other historic sites within easy walking distance.
During the coup of 1851, the proprietor harbored a republican lawyer fleeing arrest and later secured a promise from authorities that he would not be further pursued. This episode reveals how such establishments became havens during moments of political upheaval in French history.
