Looking for some good cafe suggestions around the Millesime Hotel. Somewhere a solo traveler would feel comfortable.

The Cafe Deux Magots is about a block away,so is the de Flore.There is a small cafe on the corner of rue Jacob and rue Benoit I believe also, I don't remember the name,but they make excellent omelets and I often see ladies having lunch or just tea alone.<BR>It is a nice neighborhood to wander and not feel awkward or nervous about being alone.

I stayed just down the block from the Millesime. The Flore and Deux Magots are great for people-watching, had a really bad omelet at one, don't think they're known for the food. A great restaurant in the area is a place called La Locanda and yes, it's Italian,but the food is terrific and the owner was really friend and nice and speaks excellent English. It's on Rue de Dragon, on the other side of Blvd. St. Germain. By the way, I'm insanely jealous that your trip is ahead of you and mine's behind me.

Gretchen just returned. Paul's, upscale patisserie, (tea room style) is near one of the corners, perhaps Rue Bonaparte? Don't miss a stroll on the L'Ilse St Louis, several cafes looked welcoming along with casual quartet on the bridge. Personally I would skip, Cafe Lipp on Saint Germain just too crowded and hot, granted it was Sunday night. <BR>Dining early was a good idea in general, a little less crowded. S
