This dissertation analyses the evolution of Parisian coffee shops in connection with the capital's social changes. Since the discovery of coffee, this beverage has brought together diverse populations, occupying a central role in society. The traditional Parisian café, a true institution, has gone through many social, economic and cultural revolutions, evolving along with its regular patrons. However, since the 2000s, Paris has seen a boom in coffee shops, leading to the decline of traditional cafés, one of which closes every four days in France. These new spaces, adapted to contemporary lifestyles, foster modern social connections, integrating digital, social networks and minimalist spaces, creating a new type of urban sociability.
