Café de la Musique

Attached to one of the grandest of Mitterrand's grands travaux, a concert hall within the Parc de la Villette, this café's location guarantees a crowd that's passionately devoted to music. The recorded sounds that play in the background are likely to be more diverse and more eclectic than those in any other café in Paris. The red-and-green velour setting might remind you of a modern opera house. The main attraction, however, is the sprawling outdoor terrace with thirty tables that face a bubbling lion-shaped fountain and perfectly catch the afternoon light.
