THE EXPERT
Good to know: Jean Luc-Jean
counts Charles Aznavour
(below) among his fans
and roughly when. Brad Pitt, Jerry Hall,
Jacques Chirac, Mick Jagger, Jane Fonda,
Charles Aznavour and Françoise Sagan
have all signed my Livre D’Or [guest book].
Because I have been here for more than
40 years many of the regulars are friends.
The other day, Juliette Gréco [the actress
and singer] got in touch and wanted help
with something – I can’t tell you what. It
was an honor to be of assistance.
Paris for romantics
Jean-Luc Jean’s top tips for sweeping your sweetheart off their feet
THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC
The Left Bank is the neighborhood
of artists, dandies and
intellectuals. Drink in the bohemian
surroundings with an
espresso outside either
Café de Flore (172 Boulevard
Saint-Germain. www.cafedeflore.fr)
or Les Deux Magots
(6 Place Saint-Germain des Prés.
www.lesdeuxmagots.fr).
THE KISS
Let’s say May is the best time for
a romantic stroll. In that case,
I would recommend the pride
of the Left Bank, the Jardin du
Luxem bourg. Lush and quiet, it is
ideal for couples who just want
to hold hands and kiss.
Rue de Vaugirard, 6ème.
THE SURPRISE GIFT
You can never go wrong with
perfume. Right across from the
hotel, the House of Guerlain has
a beautiful boutique. Its flagship
fragrance is Shalimar.
29 Rue de Sèvres, 6ème.

THE CANDLELIT DINNER
La Truffière in the Latin Quarter
has a vaulted dining room and,
as the name suggests, a menu
fragrant with truffle. It also has
an incredible wine cellar, with a
2008 Domaine Armand Rousseau
Clos de Ruchottes (€480)
among its treasures.
4 Rue Blainville, 5ème.

THE NIGHTCAP
La Coupole in Montparnasse is
a lively brasserie with a great
atmosphere. The classic dish is
steak frites, but you should of
course go for the shellfish.
102 Boulevard du Montparnasse,
14ème.
Tel: +33 1 43 20 14 20.
