Café Beaubourg

If there were a prize given to the most strategically placed caf� in Paris, this caf� would be a front-runner to win. What says "You're in Paris now!", more than sipping a cocktail, a beer, a caf� or a glass of wine while gazing out onto the Centre Pompidou, one of Paris' most visual landmarks. And the people watching here is some of the best anywhere. One of the many things that appeals to all ages about Les Halles is that it draws such a wide assortment of types, ages and colors of people. The area is so diverse that you might even see purple people walk by, at least if you hang out here late enough at night enjoying the colorful landscape - and human - scenery.
