Nice Cafe in Paris

This is one of a number of cafes in true Parisian style. I just joined a social network where artists from around the world communicate with each other. I contacted an artist living in Budapest Hungary recently. She had studied at the Sorbonne among other places, and I thought it would be a good idea to ask about cool places to eat while in Paris. This is just one of them, more to follow.
