The French Cafe by Marie-France Boyer

The French cafe epitomises the French art of living. Through its timeless glass doors float the aromas of strong coffee and black-tobacco, hot milk and fresh croissants. The cafe, open early until late, is both focus and microcosm of society. Friends talk; lovers linger; the white saucers pile up as the world goes by; a lone customer comes in to read the newspapers or for a petit verre at the bar. The French cafe is a refuge, a place to meet, to sit inside or out, somewhere to see and be seen.
Marie-France Boyer is a freelance journalist and the Paris Editor of The World of Interiors magazine. She is the author of several other books, including Matisse at Villa la Rêve and Spirit of the Sea, both published by Thames & Hudson.
