Cafe au lait

1. Do all of the cafe%26#39;s in Paris offer this delicious drink? Any place better than another?

2. I am interested in buying some authentic cafe au lait bowls in Paris as a gift. Any suggestions that would carry them that would be good quality, not break the bank? Would any of the antique stores/puces flea market carry something like that? Vintage sometimes makes a nice and original gift

Thanks

Generally, they%26#39;re called %26quot;un creme%26quot; or %26quot;un grand creme%26quot; (large size) in Paris. I think the oversized cup are more of a New Orleans thing. The serving sizes of coffee in Paris are miniscule.

Ask for a cafe au lait in Paris and the waiter will serve you a cafe creme but charge you twice as much.

The bowls are mostly used in peoples homes for breakfast coffee. Loads of shops sell them including the touristy places. You can buy them with old French adverts on them such as the laughing cow and banania trust me you can get them everywhere.
