Famous five

These are places that are an integral part of everyday life. Encountered by chance along a path, visited every morning around the corner from home, tried out by word of mouth. We like them noisy or studious, indulgent, intimate, sometimes to be seen there and often to go unnoticed. If we come for the coffee, we sometimes come back for other things. Here is the club of the 5 cafés of the week in the French capital.

Humans are sometimes funny creatures. As the heat of summer rings out, there they are, frantically delighting in cones topped with scoops of ice cream that melt at the speed of light. Beyond the pleasure, it must be admitted that the Parisian scene is seeing temperatures rise in terms of great places to eat.
