I do. I have a little brother who is a friend of some artists, and who gives me tickets sometimes." (Hugo, 642)    Cafes Cafes formed the heart of working class life and interactions. They served as a general meeting place, as well as a site for planning. They were places were the working class went, typically in the evening, but also for a midday meal, to escape the harsh realities of their lives through drinking and companionship. They were frequented mainly by men.   This scene depicts an open air market on the Boulevard du Temple, a working class neighborhood of Paris.
