Another important stop on any Louisville itinerary is a five-minute drive south, Lynn's ParadiseCafe , a famous neighborhood spot that serves stick-to-your ribs Southern cuisine like biscuits and grits.
The Parisian-style cafe circuit, backed by an intriguing literary history, is paradise for bookish types and coffee lovers, and the edgy local fashion scene seduces design-minded travellers.
For a hipper setting, wander along the bobo (bourgeois bohemian) paradise of the Canal St Martin, a shop- and cafe-lined canal in the trendy 10th arrondissement, which packs out with picnickers and revellers as soon as the sun shines (and well into the night, too).
