0: Le Dôme Café

One of the four great cafés of the jazz age at a crossroads in Montparnasse, Le Dôme Café was renowned as an intellectual gathering place from the early 1900s. A fantasy of Tiffany lamps and potted palms and oysters on crushed ice, it was widely known as 'the Anglo-American café.' Opening in 1898, it created and disseminated gossip, and provided message exchanges and an over the table market that dealt in artistic and literary futures. It was frequented by the famous (and soon to be famous) painters, sculptors, writers, poets, models, art connoisseurs and dealers.

It has mirrored walls and art deco lamps, grumpy waiters a cat asleep on the bar. Ernest Hemingway set a scene of Fiesta in this bistro: the characters are discussing the femme fatale of the book, the bob-haired flapper Brett. Sit at a table and drink the café's famous drink named after Mr. Hemingway himself (beware: whiskey is involved!)
