Getting a taste of the French café scene
figures prominently on everyone's must-do list when they visit
France but unless you have an insider's knowledge of the best
places to visit, even this mecca of café culture can disappoint.
A pair of Australian Francophiles, Elizabeth Moir and Kay
Schulda, have put together an 18 Day tour of Paris and country
France, which takes in some of Frances's most venerable and
Vogueish eateries.

Elizabeth and Kay's best-of list includes
the cultish Café Marly at the Louvre, Bofinger, the oldest
brasserie in Paris, and the Salon de Thé Ladurée, where you
can sip fragrant tea and indulge in a selection of dainty
cakes.
