"This quintessential café, just across from the Louvre, is on my list because it is in my ‘hood. When I was a young girl first visiting Paris, I gazed with wonder at the lit-up grand dames of the 1st arrondissement—the Regina, the Hotel du Louvre, the Lotti—so distant in every way from the dump with the bathroom down the hall where I was staying. Now I book the Regina whenever I am in Paris and spend my afternoons at the Place Colette, under the Roman columns of Le Nemours."
