Jeanne Ladurée, who was Louis Ernest's wife, is credited with having founded the tradition of the French 'salon de thé' by combining the Parisian café with a pâtisserie. This proved to be a hit, especially with women, who were able meet and socialize in a luxurious public setting without impugning their reputations in any way.
