For those of you who've never been to France, you can probably nevertheless imagine the social importance and pleasure of the individual cafe/bistro--quick coffee in the morning, steak and pommes frites for lunch, a kir after work, etc. They can be really wonderful institutions--or sometimes a bit seedy, but still there's the charm--and perhaps not surprisingly, they are suffering these days. Tant pis.
