They already disappeared save a few ones. As a lifelong Parisian as well I will tell you that most of the bistros are not bistros anymore. The quintessential experience that you can have in a parisian bistrot can only be lived in a very few places and to some people it will look like pedant. One example of a real parisian bistrot would be La Rotonde in Montparnasse, waiters are coming from schools where they learn their art (they re not some tatooed hipsters with man buns serving natural wines), real chiefs are cooking the food and the pastries, prices are still affordable for the middle class. this is for me the real parisian experience.
