Is there a cafe within the Palais? Or if one wants a cup of something, does this mean finding somewhere outside of the building? It's a big place, so it would be nice if there was somewhere within.

Yes, we were there a few years ago... very nice museum. Not too far away there are also some good bakeries... I remember a Paul's - just like in London. :-)

Thank you very much, both of you. The cafe information wasn't on the English translation side, as far as I could see! Glad to know I'll be able to have a sit down and a cuppa! You, Pedmar, gave me some restaurant suggestions a few weeks ago - not long until I can try them out!

We enjoyed our visit to the Palais and to the cafe afterwards. You can read about it here
