reading a book at a cafe table under the arches of the Place des Vosges, a tranquil oasis in the heart of the Marais, Paris
The metro station is on the back side of Montmartre, and a scenic starting point to explore the area. Across the street from the metro is Le Refuge, an atmospheric cafe where time seemed to stand still.
My preferred breakfast spot in Paris, with street view of Rue du Faubourg Montmartre
