Today
it is the banks, the most exquisite and expensive pâtissier
in town, and the so-called "liberal" professions that
have taken possession of this "shady" side of the
Cours . Opposite in almost undivided throng, café upon
café spills out unto the broad sunny side walk, establishing
for anyone who cares about such matters, the undisputed "supériorité
de l'homme assis" to see and to be seen.
