Bars

Paris's numerous café-bars define the city. It is in the city's cafés that coteries of great Parisian thinkers such as Derrida and Sartre formed their philosophies in conversation and camaraderie - Victor Hugo being moved to write that "loafing" in the city's cafés was an essential characteristic of being a Parisian. Even today it is in the cafés that modern day Parisians relax, do business and fall in and out of love - this is one of the world's most romantic cities after all. From the smokiest drinking den to the finest pavement café and through to the ultra modern bar, café-bars are integral to any experience of Paris. No guide could ever provide an exhaustive list of places to try in the city that practically invented the modern day bar, but here are a few suggestions to get you started. Les Deux Magots 170 blvd St-Germain, 6e Tel: +33 (0)1-4548-5525 One of the most famous café-bars in Paris due to its literary connections. Sartre, Derrida and de Beauvoir were among the 20s intellectual set that made Les Deux Magots famous. Now it is full of well-to-do locals and tourists, and not a bohemian philosopher in sight. Harry's Bar 5 Rue Daunou, 2e Tel: +33 (0)1-4261-7114 The favourite haunt of Americans abroad, Harry's Bar has its literary connections as well. F Scott Fitzgerald and Noel Coward were just two of its more famous customers. The piano strikes up at 22h00 each night. Le Café Noir 65 Rue Montmartre, 2e Tel: +33 (0)1-4039-0736 A typical Parisian café, where people come to chat and while away the evening over a "demi". Inexpensive food available; credit cards not accepted. L'Apparemment Café 18 Rue des Coutures-Saint-Gervais, 3e Tel: +33 (0)1-4887-1222 Right in the heart of the trendy Marais district, a few minutes' walk from the Picasso Museum, this is a great place to chill out with comfy sofas, books and board games adding to the relaxed atmosphere. Sip cocktails and nibble on plates of ham and cheese surrounded by paintings by young, up-and-coming artists. L'Amnesia 42 Rue Vieille du Temple, 4e Tel: +33 (0)1-4272-1694 A place favoured by the pre-club crowd the beautiful people come here to get their fixes of cocktails and long mixes, both drinks and audio. The atmosphere tends to be fashionably laid-back, casual but expensive. Le Lizard Lounge 18 Rue du Bourg-Tibourg, 4e Tel: +33 (0)1-4272-8134 One of the only non-gay bars in the Marais. Famous for its selection of beers (the proprietors are American, English and Irish), but also serves great cocktails. Lively atmosphere. Techno music played in the basement from Wed-Sat. Le Buddha Bar 8 Rue Roissy-d'Anglas, 8e Tel: +33 (0)1-5305-9000 The place to be seen, you'll need to be fashionably attired to get in to Le Buddha Bar. There's a separate bar and restaurant inside, along with an enormous Buddha welcoming the beautiful people in. Café de Flore 172 blvd, St Germain, 6e Tel: +33 (0)1-4548-5526 Another favourite hangout of the existentialist crowd, Café de Flore is similar in almost every respect to its literary rival, Les Deux Magots. Grab a pavement seat if you can. The Frog and Rosbif 116 Rue St-Denis, 2e Tel: +33 (0)1-4236-3473 An Anglo-French pub that tries to recreate a "genuine" English pub atmosphere. It actually isn't as bad as it could be and the atmosphere is lively and friendly. More of a night pub than a place for a quiet drink. Barrio Latino 46-48 Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, 12e Tel: +33 (0)1-5578-8475 Latin atmosphere in this bar located in Bastille. There are three bars, a restaurant and VIP area and a DJ every night after 22h00. Expect to queue at weekends. Fun place for a night out.
