Why Paris?
Paris, the city of love
The evolution of Parisian women in society has enabled the City of Light to go from the “European brothel” to the romantic city par excellence. Parisian women started to emancipate, and they also populated public places like cafés or restaurants. These women married for love, to men with whom they could live a passion.
The city, with its wide avenues, elegant buildings, and lovely parks, became a muse for many national and international artists. Therefore, all the romanticism and inspiration were somewhat shown in their works. The attraction of its food, its wine, its champagne, and the atmosphere on the café-terraces and the Belle Epoque brasseries makes Paris the perfect romantic destination of choice for lovers.
CAFÉS
My favorite cafés in Paris
Café Belloy
Traditional cuisine, plus aperitifs, in a warm, old-school locale with streetside tables.
Address:
37 Av. Kléber
What I like about it
This is one of the best dinner spots in Paris but if you go at any time of day there will be something delicious on the menu!
Café de Flore
Long-running coffeehouse & celebrity haunt serving familiar French fare in a charming corner locale.
Address:
172 Bd Saint-Germain
What I like about it
Must-visit place if you love literature, fashion & art. The cafe is lined with works of art by master artists who used to frequent!
Boot Café
Former cobbler's workshop, now tiny coffee wonderland is never loud nor rowdy. In fact, it only seats 8 people.
Address:
19 Rue du Pont aux Choux
What I like about it
This is a must-visit at anytime of day for to-go drinks or on off-peak hours to sit in. Just don't schedule a rendezvous with anyone claustrophobic.
