Rita Crane Photography: Les Deux Magots, Paris / cafe / literary cafe / Left Bank
Dawn at Les Deux Magots, (pronounced kind of like "lay duh mah go") Latin Quarter. Despite my getting to the area early early in the morning to photograph these historic spots, about one minute after I took the picture, a gigantic white tour bus parked smack dab in front of our view! Luckily I had gotten the angle I wanted for this picture ....
Je n'avais que 4 minutes pour trouver ma prise de vue avant qu'un autobus enorme plein de touristes est arrive. Il c'est gare exactement devant moi! C'etait l'aube mais on commence de bon heure a Paris!
Here's their website: www.lesdeuxmagots.fr/ and there's an English version too....and a brief history for you below from www.paris.org
"Where: 170 blvd, St Germain, 6th
Métro stop: St-Germain-des-Prés.
Open: 8h - 02h Daily; closed second week of January.
Named after the two wooden statues which still dominate the room, Les Deux Magots is one the most famous cafés in Paris. Jean-Paul Sartre, and Hemingway were both patrons in an earlier era. Its rival - Café de Flore - is just next door.
