les deux magots

Anneliese and I decided to shelter from the cold winds of Paris one Friday morning so we ducked into the infamous Deux Magots, the renowned meeting spot of the world’s finest thinkers from Sartre and de Beauvoir, to Hemingway and even Picasso. Whilst you do pay an arm and a leg for a café or chocolat chaud at this St Germain des Près institution you can still today see reminents of, amongst the throngs of tourists, those free bohemian intellects sitting over a warm coffee contemplating the real meaning of life if you look carefully enough.
