Parisian Cafés

« Prima del caffè, si respira. È solo dopo il caffè che si vive.

Avant le café, on respire. C'est seulement après le café que l'on vit.

Before the coffee, we breathe. It’s only after the coffee that we live. »

Choosing Parisian cafés as the theme for this long-awaited new gallery is a brilliant idea. They are a fundamental part of the city's identity. Paris boasts a rich café culture — one that fostered the flourishing of the bohemian lifestyle and nurtured gatherings of renowned artists, helping to imbue the capital with its unique romantic charm. This gallery does more than simply highlight the atmosphere of Parisian cafés; above all, it reveals the personalities of the owners and staff who bring them to life. These are men and women who respect their craft and take pride in their roles within the service industry, committed to upholding its reputation through a genuine approach to their customers and a dedication to preserving this tradition for the city they cherish. ~VVVVV+~
