When in France one must do the cafes, the brasseries, the restaurants, the bakeries, the markets, the food thing.
Especially the cafes.
You cannot come to France without doing the cafes it would be a sin.
Did you know that when you go into a cafe you can order a coffee, sit back and watch the world go by. The owners will never ask you to leave, well at least they won't as long as they are opened. Doing the cafes implies that you will sit back, relax and take your time.
Sipping life, conversation, the moment is a must.
The French cafe counter.
The stack of white coffee cups,
the metal basket full of fresh oranges,
the espresso machine,
the mirrored back wall,
the chalk board menu….
it is classic part of the French cafe.
Ah the pleasure of taking France in over food and drink.
To stop at a cafe, sit back, and be part of the scene.
Hemingway, Sand, Monet, Cezanne…
Nicoise salad, pomme frites, moutarde…
Black beret, glass of wine and the Marseillaise.
My cousins are on their way to becoming French.
