Bars
10 Bar International
If you're looking to be lured into a classic Parisian hole-in-the-wall by the sound of accordion music, you should spend a few hours of your evening here. An artsy den with requisite nudie collage, their sangria is just right.
The Moose
One of the only sports bars in Paris, the Moose is a quirky anglophone refuge in the heart of the 6th district. Great to stop in for directions and a pint or to watch a game with some hearty North American food, and the mostly French crowd is usually up for speaking English *or French* with students and tourists.
Cafã©s
Café de Flore
This café is famous as the favored coffee and smoking venue for the Surrealists during the 1920s and '30s, the Existentialists in the 1940s and '50s, and still attracts an artistic / literati crowd.... Also does breakfasts and light meals.
Les Deux Magots
Another famous literary café, right next door to its great rival Café de Flore. Sartre and Hemingway were regular patrons here and the café confirms its literary connections with an annual, somewhat prestigious book prize.
The 6th has two of Paris' most famous cafés, side by side - both are more expensive than your average café you're paying for the history and the location, not for extraordinary fare or service....:
