Best Paris Cafés for Experiencing the City's History
"Often touted as Paris’s oldest café, founded in 1686 by Sicilian chef Procopio Cutò, with a storied past that includes patrons like Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. The setting feels like a blast from the past—bright red-hued walls and banquet seating—and the set lunch remains a relative bargain at around 20 euros for a tourist-forward historic institution." - Vicki Denig
