Tram, also referred to as Tram Café Librairie, is a café and previously operated as a bookstore situated in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France. Positioned close to the Panthéon, it offers a menu that includes coffee, pastries, breakfast, and lunch options. Up until 2023, the adjacent bookstore provided an extensive range of titles, encompassing children's literature, popular bestsellers, and graphic novels.
History
Marion Trama and Paul Hayat were formerly the proprietors of Café Trama, located on Rue du Cherche-Midi in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. Subsequently, they established Tram Café Librairie on Rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Geneviève within the fifth arrondissement. This venture was in collaboration with bookseller Marion Wolff and Michelin-starred chef Alain Trama. The idea for this establishment originated from their 2018 visit to City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco.
In 2023, due to insufficient sales performance, Tram Café Librairie discontinued its book retail activities and shifted its focus entirely toward its dining services.
Pop culture
A scene from the second season of the Netflix series Emily in Paris includes Tram Café Librairie as a featured location.
