Pasticceria Cova
in Paris

The Milanese pastry shop Cova has opened its first shop in Paris,
covering over 250m2 and spread across two floors.

The Parisian opening was made possible with the support of LVMH, now the owner of La
Samaritaine, which invested approximately 750 million euros to revive the famous
department store.

PARIS

The shop draws inspiration from the renowned Italian pastry shop-café on Via Montenapoleone in Milan.
Antonio Cova founded it in 1817 and originally opened it as “Caffe del Giardino” next to the Teatro alla Scala.
