Cafe Paris made me forget time.

In summer in Paris, many locals go out on holiday, and most of the people you see in the streets are tourists. Where are the real Parisians at this time? Walking along the streets and alleys, you will find one cafe after another, where you will see the kind and peaceful faces of many Parisians and experience the slow flow of time in this noisy city.

In Paris, there are thousands of cafes, large and small, and their business is booming every day. The cafe is an extension of people's life and plays a wonderful role in regulating the pace of life. People come to the cafe to read newspapers, read books or be in a daze, or even come to do unfinished work in the office. Many coffee lovers, at dawn, patronize the cafe before they go to work. They lean on the counter to drink a small cup of freshly brewed espresso, skim through the newspaper of the day, and then go to work at 9 o'clock. At 1: 00 noon, almost every cafe is crowded, where Parisians stand and rush for lunch or drink. Parisian lunch is simple, mostly sandwiches with medium or large milk coffee. When it comes to getting off work, many Parisians may stop in the cafe for a while and enjoy a cup of coffee or white wine before going home. Dinner time for Parisians is 7: 00 or 8: 00, and there is plenty of time!

In Paris, there are cafes on the roadsides and corners of every street. Nine out of ten Parisians will be in a cafe when they date. Even friends who meet for the first time will take a map of the city and look for the cafe with the most moderate distance between them. The atmosphere of the cafe is the most suitable for friends to meet, harmonious and romantic. Another sight of the cafe is that there are a large number of people reading. The readers of the Paris Cafe have two characteristics: one is walking alone, and the other is concentrating on reading for several hours. The French love to read, with an average of 12 books per person every year. According to my on-the-spot survey, most people read novels. Obviously, the French regard reading as a personal pleasure and really integrate into life. If you want to appreciate the graceful French reading girl, please go to the cafe and you won't be disappointed when I keep it.

The vicinity of the Louvre is worth hanging around. You will see several famous cafes with purple sunshade eaves hanging under the large glass windows of these cafes, as in the classic old movies. If you pass far away, you can smell the elegant smell of coffee in the air, but don't pass by in a hurry. This is the favorite place of Parisians. You don't have to remember the historical stories of these century-old cafes, the favorites of literature, the patronage of Louis socialites, and so on, but they are worth feeling. Of course, you must find a family to sit in, order a cup of coffee, order a western dim sum, and the cost is only ten euros. I have been to a Marley Cafe, which is charming and luxuriously decorated. The terrace of the cafe faces the glass pyramid of the Louvre, making people sit for hours and still do not want to leave.

The waiters in Paris Cafe are mostly men, they are all suits, black bow ties, tall, serious facial expression, but do not be intimidated, they are gentle and patient. See foreign guests, they will ask in simple English, repeat several times, very polite, and finally they will understand that you want a "latte" and the cake is made of almonds rather than raisins. In fact, the waiters in cafes are also hard-working workers. In spring and summer, many cafes stay open until late at night, and many waiters take a day off.
