I once had a cup out of a vending machine at Gare d'Austerlitz and that was even good. When we go to France, we always come home with a couple bags of coffee which get popped into the freezer so we can have French coffee until the next trip.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904171824244129391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333953604767977789.post-75092124075829940552009-01-10T14:58:00.000-08:002009-01-10T14:58:00.000-08:00Pas problem pour moi.

When we ordered un café s'il vous plaît, we got that tiny espresso coffee which I hate and the waiter explained that we should say un "un café allongé", which means a coffee with a larger quantity of water, in a larger cup. Unfortunately you can't get refils neither in Greece and I have only seen that in films, which I always thought it was a great idea.Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12370053555998889434noreply@blogger.com
