Places to work in Paris
Hello all-
just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for places to while away some time in Paris? I'm there for a few days next week and have tons of work to do, so need some place comfy (preferably with power points, etc., though wi-fi is a bonus) that I can sit with a laptop and get some writing done. If I was in London I might go to the British Library, for instance... or maybe the Tate Modern, or any one of a few places that I could legitimately spend a few hours at a time. But not really sure about where to do that in Paris!
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks for that, Peregrine. I had forgotten about Sbux!
If anyone else is looking, a bit more creative googling helped me out as well:

You could also try the Bibliothque Georges Pompidou - the entrance is located on the "wrong" side of the Pompidou Museum. It's a quite big library, there's free wi-fi inside. It will certainly be less noisy than a cafe. Plus as it is the summer holidays there's no queue to get in. The bibliothque's open 11 - 22 except on Tuesdays.

Paris sponsors free wifi in mairies, public libraries (and in certain parks, if you can work with a computer on your lap).
This page(French only) offers an introduction to Paris Wifi.
"Cliquez sur un point pour afficher toutes les informations lies l'emplacement du point Wi-Fi ou tlchargez tous les points d’accs au format PDF" provides two links (in turquoise print); click the bolded text to download a PDF list of all the free Paris wifi spots.
I use a library in one of the residential neighborhoods. During the school year I have to elbow out a spot among the local high school students, but that shouldn't be an issue post 14 juillet.
