In this edition of Entre Nous we dive into the bid to make France’s bistros and cafés part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list. We discuss how the bistrot got its name and how they are different from brasseries, bouillons and restaurants. We also discuss how alcohol consumption and wine’s powerful lobby in France may represent a weakness for the bid, but also why these gathering places are needed more than ever.Entre Nous#French #bistros #cafés #UNESCO #intangible #heritage #status1768404138
