Cafes to visit in Paris

Taking a trip to Paris can be a tiring experience as there is so much to see and do. The benefit of this is that the tiredness gives you an opportunity to take advantage of the many cafes around the city which play such a large part in the character of the city. The vision of the Paris citizens sitting out on the pavement during the summer Paris Cafesmonths is one that comes synonymously with the city. Below are some of the best cafes to experience this.
Le Select - This must be the most traditional and authentic Paris cafe experience in the city. The quality of the coffee and traditional French pastries on the menu is exquisite and the location is discreet and classy. Located in the popular St Germain district of the city this cafe is a popular choice for locals and tourists alike.

La Sancerre - One can enjoy fabulous views of some of the city’s best attractions from this traditional French cafe on the Rue Des Abbesses. The crowd here is a good mix of locals, students and tourists, so you will not be drowned by visitors as you would in other nearby cafes and instead you can enjoy an authentic experience. The cafe turns into a trendy bar at night time and offers a great range of cocktails.

Cafe de la Plaix - Whether you choose to sit inside and enjoy the splendid interior design of this cafe which is part of Le Grand Hotel on the Place de l’Opera or sit outside and watch the city life pass by, you will be glad you visited this establishment.
