You may pony up a little more than you wanted to for your drink, but sitting and having a drink at Les Duex Magots or Le Procope is a right of passage for Paris. Each cafe is on the ritzy Boulevard Saint-Germain and both are emblems of what a french cafe or bistro should be.
You will immediately have something in common with almost everyone who has visited Paris as these two spots are popular! Your drinks won’t taste much different than anywhere else since these places are more about their history and service.
