Les Deux Magots

What is the point of going to a place where they take you an arm and a leg for an espresso, where you are surrounded with American and Japanese tourists when you can go to hundreds other places and have the real thing?

The time when French intellectuals and students were at the terrace of Les Deux Magots discussing and rebuilding the Wordl is long gone! They also want to be in better places and far away from the very noisy, polluted and crowded Boulevard Saint Germain.
