La Closerie Des Lilas
WHY
Because you want to glean inspiration and experience cafe culture like Hemingway, Verlaine and other cultural and literary greats did. With a full restaurant, historical bar area and delightful garden, they have the perfect environment for whatever suits your mood.
WHERE
Located at 171 Boulevard du Montparnasse on the quieter side of St. Germain
WHAT
Must have one of their signature cocktails. Amazing cocktails are hard to come by in Paris and this, I must say is one of the best places to go for your cocktail craving. If you have a sweet tooth, Crêpes Suzette and the Coupe Lilas cannot be missed!
WHEN
During the spring and summer, make sure to experience the garden area, where you can either dine off the full menu or get a cafe and dessert. Great atmosphere for taking in the parisian vibes without being on the crowded and loud main boulevard of St. Germain.
WHO
For all you day dwellers, it's perfect for some solitude when you want to be creative and be alone with your own thoughts. If you are a night owl, perfect for some apero drinks or group dinners filled with vibrance.
