Grand Café Tortoni

"This espresso bar is in an old perfumerie and one of the best spelling places in Paris, if not the most charming. Amongst the decor of the ancient shop and display of antique perfume shop items, there is a display of perfumes which you can workshop and mix yourself, along with high quality lotions and other perfumed pharmacie items. There is one small bar with high stools where you can order coffee, pastries, and desserts. I love taking people who have never been to Paris here as a start to a tour of the Marais. Start your day early at this place so it's not super busy! "
