If you and your date are in a philosophical mood, head over to one of the famous cafes by the Eglise de St-Germain-des-Pres. Cafe de Flore was frequented by surrealists such as Andre Breton whereas Aux Deux Magots was chosen by the existentialists, Jean-Paul Sartre being the ringleader of the lot. These two cafes and others in the area are packed with history and situated in one of the oldest and most charming areas of Paris.
