Coffee basic knowledge Romantic Classic French Coffee

The French pay most attention to the environment and atmosphere when they drink coffee, and some Paris cafes themselves are legendary places of interest. Compared with other countries, the most important thing for French people to drink coffee is not the taste, but the environment and atmosphere. This is a traditional and unique "coffee culture".

Among the about 170000 cafes in France, there is no shortage of resplendent or simple and elegant people. Especially in Paris, some cafes are themselves legendary places of interest. In the old dynasty of the Middle Ages, the focus of French cultural life was on the court. In the age of enlightenment in the 18th century, the focus of culture began to shift to various salons, clubs and cafes. The Prokopu Cafe in Latin District, for example, is associated with the French Revolution, which influenced the world more than 200 years ago. Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot, the thinkers of the 18th century European Enlightenment, as well as Robespierre, Danton and Mara, the three heroes of the Great Revolution, were all regulars here. Several works by Voltaire and Diderot's world's first encyclopedia were written here, as well as the red, white and blue tricolor hats that symbolized the Revolution for the first time. A few years before the revolution broke out, it had been a place where blood was boiling and storms were born. It is said that Napoleon came here before his fortune and left a cap for drinking coffee.

Later, it was a social place for first-class writers, actors, gentlemen and ladies to gather and talk, including the famous Hugo, Balzac, GeorgeSand, Zola and so on. Later, Prokopu, a literary publication, was founded in the name of this cafe.

Therefore, the traditional decoration, antique furnishings and various cultural relics preserved in the museum are particularly rich. The pattern and scenery of the museum do not seem to have "taken on a new look" due to the changes of the times, and customers still like its classicality.
