The Cafés of Paris


The cafés of Paris are legendary.  Every tourist knows that just sitting in a café drinking coffee or sipping wine is an integral part of the Parisian experience.

I found a website that describes the Top Traditional Paris Cafes starting with the Café De La Paix which is located in Le Grand Hotel at 12 Boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement.

 
“Declared a historic site by the French government in 1975, this iconic café is the setting for many a painting and poem. The ornate frescoed interior and proximity to the Paris Opera make this classic look more like a museum than simple watering hole. Once loved by French writers such as Guy de Maupassant and Emile Zola, the café is so well-known that legend claims that you will surely run into a friend there.”

But every Paris corner seems to have a café just waiting for the tired tourist to enjoy.  This blog gives tips for an enjoyable café outing… Having a Drink at a Paris Café.

“In France, life happens in cafés. You are sure to see lovers having coffee at a café terrace watching the world go by, or a group of friends drinking beers at the bar while discussing politics.”
Day 14 Preparation for Paris trip:  Watch the world go by while drinking a glass of French wine.
