Café Photo of the Week is published every Wednesday, and showcases photography from our staff, contributors, and readers.

Terrace Oasis, by Patty Sadauskas

During Covid-19, cafés have been allowed to enlarge their terraces to create social distancing. Some have really gone all out, like this café in the Haut Marais, which has created a festive oasis. The effect of all the enlarged terraces have turned the city into one big street party, and it’s wonderful to behold. We want the city to make these permanent as part of the greening of Paris. What say you Mayor Hidalgo?
