We’ve reached that time of year again. Parisians have packed their bags to the brim and begun their annual exodus out of the city for summer holiday. That also includes restaurant and coffee shop owners who will be taking a breather. My friend Wendy has a solid list of restaurants staying open this summer so I thought I would tackle the specialty coffee shops I enjoy and that you may want to visit in July/August. And if you’re not coming to Paris and are wondering why on earth this would be relevant to you, look at it as a sign of positive change: more and more establishments are staggering their closures so that we aren’t stranded without good coffee and community! Other relevant spots to be added as information is available.
