Noisette. grande creme or skinny latte?

Readers of a certain generation are just coming to terms the (limited) choice of coffees in French bars. But the American style coffee shops offer  a bewildering range of beverages, and in true transatlantic style size seems to be main thing : larger or larger. Now fans of more than an expresso or cafe allongée will be able to enjoy the full range as Starbucks opens its first branch in Toulouse. In the heart of la ville rose, by the cinemas of place Wilson and metro Jean Jaures, the new establishment offered personalised mugs to the first 300 customers and there were queues around the block.

Given the French fascination for American culture we will probably see Starbucks in every city, just near to the local Macdonalds. Just like home.....
