"Search for Noir on the map, and you’re bound to be conveniently close to one. There are 15 locations of this beloved coffee shop, which is great if you need a pick-me-up after hours of traversing the city. The original outpost is on Île Saint-Louis, the little island that separates the left and right banks, but be prepared to wait since there’s typically just one barista working. We prefer the one in the 9th, which has two levels and a stunning spiral staircase that our crystal ball tells us will become fodder for your social feed." - Tanisha Townsend
