La Palette is the café-bar of choice for the very beau Beaux-Arts students who study at the venerable institution around the corner, and young couples who steal kisses in the wonderfully preserved art-deco back room decorated with illustrations. It ain't cheap - a glass of Chablis sets you back €6, a demi €4.50 - but you're paying for the prime location once frequented by such luminaries as Jim Morrison, Picasso and Ernest Hemingway. Grab a spot on the leafy terrace if you can - there's formidable competition for seats.
