Paris Flower God Cafe savors Paris Coffee Culture

Balzac, the great writer, once said, "I'm not at home, I'm in the coffee shop; if I'm not in the coffee shop, I'm on my way to the coffee shop." This can be seen from the French's feelings for coffee. So it may not be a perfect trip to France without walking into a cafe and having a cup of coffee. While tasting coffee, Paris is the best. In an area of 105 square kilometers in the urban area, there are tens of thousands of cafes, including shops with a history of more than a century, which have a deep relationship with great philosophers and artists of the past.

Openness and tolerance in cafes

It is difficult to tell whether cafes have made cultural celebrities or cultural celebrities have made them famous. But it is undeniable that early thinkers liked to come here for inspiration. Le Procope, the earliest cafe in Paris, was founded in 1686 because of its proximity to the French Grand Theatre, also known as the Drama Cafe. Voltaire likes to come here when he is writing in Paris, drinking 40 cups of chocolate coffee every day. Napoleon came often when he was a young officer, and once left an army cap as collateral because he had no money to pay the bill. There are many anecdotes and anecdotes like this.

The Flower God Cafe is another famous coffee shop in Paris, which still retains the magnificent decoration of the 1930s, and there are numerous celebrities who have been here. Zhou Enlai, a young student in France, came here to make coffee and write articles. In Xu Zhimo's prose, you can also find traces of the Flower God Cafe. Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Bova worked here, kept warm, dined, and discussed existential philosophy with friends. The first gathering of the writer Albert Camus and Sartre was also here, and their sincere friendship began. In daily life, the French also like to come to cafes, there are friends get together, not a few come to the office.

It seems perfunctory to use "habit" to explain why the French like cafes. Chinese people are used to drinking tea, but the whole people are not so attracted to tea products. Xu Zhimo once described it like this: "Cafe: soft language with the neck, happy laughter, there is the sorrow of the young man with shaggy head sitting in the corner of the room worrying about self-destruction." Some people are laughing, some are crying, and some are thinking that in this open space, everyone is immersed in his own world without being disturbed. Strangers will not be lonely here, first dates will not feel embarrassed here, people looking for inspiration here can see all kinds of things in the world, and with the first sip of coffee slowly into the throat, everything is getting better. Such a public and private space may be said to be another footnote to Paris's tolerance and openness.

The French style of the new C5

It is because of the inclusiveness of Paris that it attracts people from all over the world. Mr. Alexander Malval, the director of Citroen's new C5 design project, once said frankly: the new C5 design team comes from all over the world, young and experienced, and is very sensitive to world trends. For designers, Paris is the center of world fashion trends and the source of design inspiration. The main reason why many foreign designers choose Citroen is of course out of their love and trust in the brand, on the other hand, they also hope that the cradle of design in Paris can inspire more imagination and create cars that are more admired by the world.

In fact, the design of Dongfeng Citroen's new C5 also takes into account the aesthetic experience of Chinese consumers. The length, width and height of 4805mm/1860mm/1458mm create a wider and thicker outline of the body; adhering to the design symbol of Citroen's "air and water", the new C5 creates a sense of elegance that is suitable for both movement and movement; the highly sculptural body is smooth and smooth, showing a moving arc while driving. Converging in the rear window of the roof line is long and smooth, with a dynamic body ratio, thus achieving the smoothness of the whole vehicle. The new C5's elegant, honorable and enterprising design can be called a classic with both mechanics and aesthetics, and it also brings a medium-and high-end car with French style to Chinese consumers.

At a time when China and France established diplomatic relations 50 years ago, Dongfeng Citroen's new C5 taste of Paris is in a romantic process. If you also happen to be in Paris, you might as well go into a coffee shop, order a cup of coffee and savor the vitality and dexterity of Paris.
