Allez Les Bleus! Where to Celebrate France’s Worldcup Win

When I was in France the last and only time it won the World Cup, the French were so delirious in watching their team win they asked me questions like:  “Can Americans run as fast as the French?”  This time the questions take a Trumpian tone, like:  is not France’s First Lady more beautiful than America’s?  In either case, the celebrations are on the way as France won this one with the help of a Croatian own goal and a penalty kick from an inadvertent hand ball in the first half — without making a shot on goal — not to mention a bluster by France’s goalkeeper for the ages.  So where to go?  Here are some top spots, many within reach of the Champs de Mars.

Café du Trocadero.  This place is hopping, and will be as it sits with a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.

Café de Flore.  For those partying through the night, come nurse your hangover with a splendid omelette and café au lait.

Onze Bar.  A chic hangout in the trendy 11th.

Café Bo Zinc.  This fashionable little café will be open late, with twenty and thirty-somethings reveling  in this chic spot of the 16th.

Café Oz.  Need I say more?  This is an Australian themed party place in the First Arrondissement.
