The traditional French cafe is more than a good coffee and pastries. It offers a glimpse into the French way of life: the country’s love for good food, conversation, and laid-back lifestyle.
Traditional French Cafe
You can stop by at the French cafe during the day or for breakfast: a cup of coffee with a baguette sliced horizontally and spread with butter/jam (or croissant).
