    If I understand what you're looking for, you're asking for guidance in how to descibe a lifestyle as it pertains to 1930s Paris.

    To do this remember to describe sights, sounds, tastes, smells, touch. Take a lesson from Hemingway; he never forgets to describe how something felt or tasted.

    Close your eyes and describe what you see when you think of the Parisian cafe lifestyle; don't edit, don't worry about what might be "right."

    -Black, iron bistro tables and chairs that are warmed from baking under the sun. Noisy streets filled with the squeal of cars and the high pitched beeps of horns......
