Cafes are closely related to French literature.

If you live in Paris for a while, you will find that the French like cafes. There are many cafes in Paris that are famous for their literature and art. Some critics even say that it is the cafe that has created the history of modern French literature. This may be an exaggeration, but the inextricable bond between cafes and French literature over the centuries is obvious to all.

Alexis, who won this year's top prize in French literature, admitted that he wrote the novel "French Art of War" word by word in the cafe. "I can't write anything at home. It's only in the cafe that I'm inspired. Strangely enough, people come and go in the cafe. A little noisy and noisy atmosphere makes me feel calm and full of thoughts. "

The cafes in Paris are mainly located in the Montmartre Heights, Saint-Germain and Montparnasse on the left bank of the Seine-Marne River.

The most famous cafe in Montmartre Heights is the Ling Rabbit. It looks simple behind the Sacred Heart Cathedral, with a wooden fence surrounding a low two-story building that resembles a farmyard. However, it was the birthplace of the French literary and artistic revolution at the beginning of the 20th century, where many artistic schools were born. At that time, when night fell, Picasso, Max Jacob, Apolinel and many other painters and writers would visit here to talk about art and creation.

Saint-Germain on the left bank of the Seine-Marne River is a neighborhood frequented by writers and calligraphers. "God of Flowers", "Lip" and "Twin" on the same street are the most famous cafes. Sartre, Simone de Beaufort and Camus often meet at the Flower God Cafe to discuss existential literature.

Montparnasse is also famous for its numerous literary cafes. Cafes such as cloves and elites are frequented by poets Baudelaire, American writers Miller, Hemingway and others.

Many of these "literary youth" used to be an indispensable part of the cafe, where they talked and influenced each other, and their thoughts and passions often collided with brilliant artistic sparks and created extraordinary works of art.

Today, even if you walk into these cafes late at night, you can often see well-known or unknown writers sitting in a corner writing. Some people joke that one can get a general idea of a day's literary life in Paris by drinking a cup of coffee in Saint-Germain's cafe.

The cafe is closely related to French literature. The cafe does not dislike these poor writers who are financially strapped and consume less. Cafes such as "Twin couple", "Lip" and "God of Flowers" have also set up their own literary awards to reward and encourage young writers who immerse themselves in writing every year.

When the French conducted a survey of foreign travelers and was asked what was the most attractive thing about Paris, many people answered not scenic spots such as the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, but cafes scattered on the streets of Paris.

Some people once compared cafes to French skeletons, saying that if they were torn down, France would fall apart. Xu Zhimo once said, "if there are no cafes in Paris, I am afraid it will become nothing cute."
