Place Dauphine
Place Dauphine Review
The Surrealists loved Place Dauphine, which they called "le sexe de Paris" because of its suggestive V shape. Its origins were much more proper: it was built by Henry IV, who named the square in homage to his successor, called the dauphin, who became Louis XIII when Henry was assassinated. Snag a table at one of the restaurant terraces here to enjoy one of the best places in Paris to dine en plein air.
