Lolita: Les Deux Magots, Paris
Les Deux Magots is referenced in Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. Located on Paris' glamorous Boulevard Saint Germain, the cafe was famously popular among intellectuals, artists, and writers throughout the 20th century. Today, it remains an iconic fixture of the bougie left bank neighborhood and a prime setting for people-watching with old-fashioned Parisian service. Expect a menu of traditional Parisian brasserie dishes with a slightly higher price tag.
