Paris
I’m going to Paris on the 5th of May. While I’m there I hope to meet up with Loic Le Meur.
Looking forward to it. He’s an interesting guy.
Plus I’m dying to sit at a proper zinc bar and drink the coffee.
If anybody knows of any good, archetypal Parisian zinc bars, please leave the info in the comment section, merci.

In the Marais there is Au Petit Fer a Cheval – or in English, the Horse-Shoe. On rue Vielle du Temple – very very French – the ‘zinc’ is ***king gorgeous and it is fantastic for lunch. Particularly if you head to the back of the brasserie where the cool Parisienes go. There is also the sister bar, Le Bar Philosophes, nearby on the same street which also affords the most beautiful views of Paris’ feminine landscape.
