Chez Gus Paris
Troyes is a delightful zip code with a rich history in the north of France, in the Champagne region. The town is a bit reminiscent of Disney's Beauty and the Beast thanks to the many colored buildings with wooden beams, the mini alleys in which the houses grow towards each other above your head and the cobble stones under your feet. You wouldn't expect that thirty years ago it was still a cold industrial city, raw and gray. Nothing to notice anymore. You can read about the diverse history of the city and its surroundings at your leisure, with a latte soup bowl in front of you. Chez Gus: you won't be the only one here who is poring over a book or the newspaper and won't be going anywhere for a while.
The furnishings of Chez Gus are a carefully put together mess of old stuff (one of the 'chairs' is a swing, for example), a bicycle hangs on the wall (there we have it again, the trendy bicycle on the wall) and the floor has Portuguese tiles (never boring). At Chez Gus 29 rue Molé, 10000 Troyes facebook.com/chezguscoffeeshop looking for the service? She could just be chatting with the neighbors, which is not annoying but pleasant thanks to the radiant smile you get when she returns. You would almost say that you get your own coffee.
