The 10 cafes in Paris that you cannot miss

Your visit to Paris will not be complete if you don't have a drink in one of its many cafes. And we are not only referring to its centenary establishments, havens of artists, writers and intellectuals for decades, but also to the specialized coffee establishments that have emerged throughout the French capital in recent years, influencing regions such as Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand and North America, and introducing different techniques and beans from the best coffee producers on the planet.

The interiors of many of the most iconic cafes in Paris are truly beautiful, but in some cases it is also worth enjoying coffee on the terraces, some of which have tables and stoves to mitigate the low temperatures. And it is not to be forgotten that smoking is prohibited in the French capital. In addition, you will see that in many terraces the chairs are not surrounding the table, but facing the street so that customers can soak up the spirit of the city. Today at Hard Hobbit To Break we want to talk to you about 10 Paris cafes that you cannot miss. Can you come with us?
