Les Deux Magots
Les Deux Magots
This café may attract more tourists than literati these days, but it first became famous as the hangout of Sartre, Hemingway, and others. Everything is a little overpriced in this place, which was first established in 1885 and named after the two Chinese figurines that remain from its former incarnation as a department store, but you pay for the fame and the experience. Order a café espresso from the suit-clad, business-like waiters, and then ponder the rest of your Paris itinerary in the same booth Hemingway sat in to think up his novels.
