I have been getting these lousy three euro coffees around Paris. I was reading my travel book and Rick Steves says that this place called Fouquet’s on Champs-Elysees has been famous since World War I for having good coffee which also now is the most expensive of anywhere in Paris at 12 euros for a cup. I saw this place and I thought that if I did not like their coffee then I might not like anyone’s here plus it was a nice place to rest and look about.
I can honestly say that I have had better coffee from a soup bowl in a hostel.
I am not sure that I would want to live in a city which has coffee supply problems because it seriously distracts me to not find coffeehouses. Coming from London I found many everywhere which were delightful. I am not sure why Paris of all places would be behind the curve. I have just been here a couple of days but I am off to a weird start with coffee for sure.
I should trust my instincts and find a chill place where people look like they like coffee. Good coffee does not have to be expensive but it has to be made with love!
