This is the perfect place for a coffee just before an afternoon movie, or for a drink or two after an evening film session at any of the numerous cinemas at Odéon. Look at the cute cups ! This was taken at the beginning of the year after my second screening of Black Swan (my first session had been during my brief trip to LA). It had been late so the café was quiet. 

You are unlikely to find the place as quiet, though. It's a popular destination for tourists and Parisians alike, an ideal place to watch people pass quickly to wherever they are headed to. City people are always on a mission, it seems, don't they? Sometimes it's so lovely to stop and relax for a bit.
