We like the Left Bank for our base in Paris.
We like to stay in the St.Germaine area due to its proximity to the Louvre and Musee d'Orsay.
Here my husband checks the menu at Deux Magots, a famous restaurant that was frequented by artists and celebrities
throughout the 20th c. Then, as not, it is a hangout for those who wish to see and be seen, and tourists who want the ambience !
