In the 1960s, France had around 200,000 cafes nationwide. It's down to 36,000 today. Most of the bistros that disappeared were in small, rural towns. Up until now, it's been virtually impossible to bring them back, mainly because of restrictive French liquor laws. But a bill in Parliament hopes to change that, and breathe some life back into thousands of small towns. The World's Gerry Hadden reports from Jujols, France.
