☕ Cafés, bistros, brasseries... they are the soul of Paris, but can you tell them apart? From the Deux Magots to the Café de Flore, the café is the privileged place for discussion. One goes there to have a coffee and eventually a snack. The Procope, the first Parisian café opened in 1686, was frequented by La Fontaine, Racine or Voltaire. The café then became the HQ of the revolutionaries before welcoming the Surrealists. The bistros were popular places where people came to eat at a lower cost, around a large zinc bar. They were run by the "bougnats", Auvergnats settled in the capital. While the bistro is only open during meal times and offers a rather basic menu, the brasserie allows you to eat at any time of day with varied and typical dishes such as sauerkraut. In fact, the Alsatians opened the first brasseries [breweries], originally intended for the production of beer, after fleeing their region during the Third Republic. Mythical addresses like Lipp or Bofinger perpetuate this history! 🍻
