Cafe Life: Take an hour or two to soak in the cafe culture of Paris. Get some coffee, a croissant, or wine and just sit and people watch. Cafes face all of their chairs toward the street just for this purpose! There are tons of articles about which cafes are the best, but I found just wandering around and picking one when you feel like a break is a great way to see the city from a different angle. Some of my best memories were sipping wine on a busy square after a visit to the Louvre or eating a crepe at a cafe in the Place du Tetre and watching the artists work. I find myself devoting more and more time to this each trip.
