French Coffee Culture

When the French conducted a survey of foreign tourists and were asked what was the most attractive thing about Paris, many people answered not places of interest such as the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, but cafes scattered on the streets of Paris. Someone once compared cafes to the skeletons of France, saying that if they were torn down, France would fall apart. Xu Zhimo also said, "if there are no cafes in Paris, I am afraid it will become nothing cute."

I have heard that France once drank less coffee because of a shortage of coffee, and immediately saw more people taking a nap. It may be an exaggeration, but it is true that the French are addicted to coffee.

When the "Gulf War" broke out in 1991, France was also one of the countries participating in the war. some ordinary people in China worried that the war would affect the supply of daily necessities and rushed to supermarkets to buy them. The incident alarmed the TV station, and when the camera looked at the customers who were holding "scarce supplies", they found that what they got the most was coffee and sugar.

French people go to cafes not only for coffee, but also to relax. Ordinary people like to take part in the fun, party or dinner, and they like to go wherever there are more people. Whether you are a learned philosopher, a frustrated scholar, a down-and-out artist, or a student after school, you can relax as long as you ask for a cup of hot coffee or other drink.

The warm and unrestrained blood of the Latin nation flows through the veins of the French, and they are keen to talk and publicize themselves.
