Cézanne enjoyed his coffee and papers here, as have generations of beau monde, intellectuals, and neighborhood habitués since its founding in 1792. The gilt-and-muraled interior is original, so be sure to take a look. The locals often prefer to take a table on the boulevard terrace of the Cours Mirabeau, considering it to be the place to sit to see and be seen. But if you want to travel back in time to the époque consulaire, sit inside.
