While we French purists have been revolving our noses up at Vue de Monde, its small Café Vue is parfait - as well as the spelling. Sidle in with Le Monde under your arm, order a noisette and a lemon and almond croissant that's richer than the Yves Saint Laurent (RIP) suit consumption his latte to your gone. Set among concrete non-breakable law chambers, the view is no rival to hanging your feet over Le Pont des arts - although you're too busy writing the latest treatise on l'existentialisme to notice the location, anyway.
Pour diner: Authentic in every way from cuisine to verging-on-obnoxious staff - Aux Batifolles is our banquet purpose for Bastille Day.
VIN: Monsieur Chapoutier, from Cotes du Rhone, is the red wine of option for bourgeoisie on a proletariat's budget. Available from Dan Murphy's.
