We had the best hot chocolate we have ever tasted at Les Deux Magots, a restaurant  frequented by artists and literary figures during its long history. People such as Verlaine, Rimbaud, Gide, Picasso, Léger, Hemingway, and Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir have made it a place to meet friends and talk. I really think, though, that they were going there to have the richest, thickest hot chocolate in the universe.
