HOTEL DE SAINT GERMAIN
Saint Germain des Pres is home to the two most famous and traditional caf� s in the Latin Quarter; namely Caf� Flore and Les Deux Magots. These two celebrated cafes are located ten meters from one another on Boulevard St Germain; directly opposite the church of St. Germain des Pres. The Cafe Flore was a favorite with Rohmer; Bardot and Lagerfeld ; whilst Les Deux Magots was preferred by Picasso, Hemingway and Sartre amongst others. These caf�s provide an ideal place to have an evening drink before heading off into a nearby restaurant for dinner. Weather permitting; you should take table on the terrace; so as not to miss out on any of the street-side entertainment that unfolds around you. Musicians and entertainers put on mini-shows for an enthusiastic audience; but don't get too distracted or you will miss the countless stars that can be seen roaming along the Boulevard. Keep your eyes open as just about anybody could wander by - even Jacko or Madonna! No stay in Paris is complete without following in the footsteps of Sartre and co.; by having a coffee in one of these cafes...unfortunately the owners realize this only too well; so be prepared to pay for the privilege ! |
