Top Paris Pavement Cafes

Although winter is descending on Paris, my thoughts go forward to Spring and Paris cafe life; you know, "April In Paris" and the great Gallic ritual that begins with strong black coffee in the morning, through to a kir or pastis at lunchtime, and then chiiled rose or a ballon de blanc for the evening apero.
I have many favorite hang outs, but one I'd like to highlight here is Le Select ( Left bank)
Montparnasse has changed a lot since the decadent days of the Belle Epoque when an explosive mix of chic cafe society and bohemian artists flocked to grand Art Nouveau locales like La Coupole and the Closerie des Lilas, but today, it is still worth grabbing a table on the terrace outside legendary literary cafe - Le Select, once the haunt of Hemingway, Picasso and Henry Miller. Opened in 1925, apart from the prices which are not cheap, it still posses a slice of Left Bank Life. Students earnestly discussing philosophy, businessmen holding an impromtu meeting or elegant fashionistas taking a break from shopping.
