We can’t think of anything more Parisian than hanging out on a café’s pavement terrace with a strong black coffee. It’s the quintessential setting for a rendez-vous … the perfect place for a spot of relaxation and recuperation … the voyeurism (people-watching) vantage point par excellence! (Just like in our atmospheric featured image, by dicktay2000.)

Listen to our Café de Paris playlist and picture yourself soaking up that most intense of Gallic atmospheres; the rich aroma of the coffee; the horn beeps and engine hums in the distance; the lyrical gossiping of the locals around you; the flamboyant and refined styles waltzing and rushing down the street, the striking and oh-so-very French street art. Aimer!
