Ever experience the sticker shock of discovering the coffee you just ordered in a cute Parisian café costs €5? You were probably in a fancy neighborhood like St Germain des Prés or Palais Royal, and sitting on the terrace, where prices are always higher. But don’t think for a minute that coffee is generally more expensive in Paris. There are still many places where an espresso is still just €1…or less. And Monsieur Delanoë (the Mayor of Paris) has been working to find them for you. Using Facebook and Twitter, the Mairie de Paris has been compiling a list of the cafés where you can find these great deals (alas, none listed yet around St Germain), which you can see on this handy map.
