Le Select, Montparnasse: Parisian icon

The Select holds a special place among the iconic cafés in the Montparnasse area. The famous brasserie was inaugurated over 100 years ago, in 1923, and quickly became a favorite among the artistic community that called the Montparnasse area home during the Roaring Twenties. Its success endured. Café, brasserie, bar: The Select does it all and it does it well as locals know. If the Select had an official guestbook it would read like the Who's Who of Paris' cultural, political and social scene through the 20th century. In 2024 it is managed by Frederic Plégat (his family has owned the brasserie for over 40 years) and his partner Bozena. They are camera-shy but offered to sit down with me and share more details about the history of the Select, then and now. Then they opened the doors of the Select to me so I could film inside. Join me on this new virtual tour as I take you around the iconic café and brasserie. "Le cadre" (the decor) is 100% Parisian. The clientele is French. The food: delicious.
