I really want to visit a Parisian cafe!  How about you?
I'd love to visit one too!  I hear that they are a center of social and culinary life in Paris.
I bet there is a lit of history surrounding the cafes, right?
Yes, they have been around since the 17th century!  They are used as a meeting place, neighborhood hub, conversation matrix, and many other things! 
Our the US cafes based on the ones in Paris?
I really don't know!  I do know that a typical Parisian cafe is not a coffee shop!
