A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? 

这个句子来自2015年高考英语全国卷，不太理解句子的意思，尤其是不理解这里的 cafe society 是什么意思。

它的上下文是这样的：

A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.
