CAFÉ
1. In French cafés, a small cup of strong black coffee is called un (petit) café, un express or, colloquially, un petit noir. This may be served serré (extra-strong), léger (weak) or allongé (diluted with hot water). An express with a tiny amount of milk added is called une noisette. A large cup of black coffee is un grand café, un double express or, colloquially, un grand noir. Coffee with frothy, steam-heated milk is called un (grand/petit) crème. The term café au lait is almost never used in cafés.
2. Parisian cafés have traditionally played an important part in the intellectual and artistic life of the city. For example, the Café de Flore was a favourite meeting place for the existentialists.
