Gran Cafe de Paris

This is a great place to drink mint tea, watch the world go by, and meet all sorts of interesting people.

  1. This is a wonderful cafe for people-watching, and idling the hours over a coffee or tea, or reading a newspaper or book. If you ever get a chance to see the film The Bourne Ultimatum starring Matt Damon, you will see the exterior of the Cafe de Paris in several scenes.

  2. I once met Jack Merde at a cafe in Morocco. We spent a few hours discussing bench press techniques, solar energy, the Ming Dynasty, and a number of other most interesting topics.

    Before we parted he said to me: “Remember – when it comes to women there are no flaws, only God’s artistic choices.” As I stood there speechless, a Chinook helicopter arrived and he boarded it.
