Lonely Planet review

Grappling with concepts such as existentialism is required for Parisians to pass the baccalauréat (school certificate) - hence the popularity of philocafés, where wide-ranging philosophical discussions take place. This is the original (and arguably best); and even if your French isn't up to following the convoluted conversations, it still offers a fascinating cultural insight.
