Less than a block apart in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, you'll find two of the literary and art worlds' favorite spots: Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots. Frequented by the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, and Pablo Picasso, both cafes are ideal for sharing cafe au laits and some high-brow conversation with friends (or strangers).
What to read: Anything by Hemingway or Capote (like A Moveable Feast) or — if you'd like to expand your knowledge of the city's evolving cafe and coffee culture — The New Paris by Lindsey Tramuta.
