Stop here before—or after—a stroll in the nearby Luxembourg Gardens for a taste of classic 19th-century Paris. Expat writers Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald frequented the bar, as did legendary artists like Picasso (brass plaques indicate exactly where they sat). If you’re not in the mood for a dimly lit watering hole, the spacious terrace is an ideal spot for a coffee or glass of wine.
