Chez Prune occupies the No. 5 spot on the Guardian's list of Top 10 Paris Pavement Cafes (Cafe de Flore is No. 1, if you're wondering). It's easy to see why; it's in one of the most happening parts of Paris, the interiors exude an off-kilter charm, and the tourists haven't descended yet. For more, go to Chez Prune.
