One French chain that imitates Starbucks is Columbus Café.

However, people should remember that different countries want different things.

There is an upside to having Starbucks in Paris. It is very difficult to find filtered American style coffee in France. When you ask for American style coffee you often are given espresso coffee diluted with water. By asking for the “coffee of the week” at Starbucks, you can get real filtered coffee. Voila!
