Just Opened (Sort Of), by Lisa Anselmo

This new café, Duke, replaced a neighborhood favorite, l’Ingenue, when the owner of the walls took back the lease. The new tenants opened amid Covid closures, but are serving takeaway (emporter) like their restaurant neighbors. Stop by show them support!

Time Stops at the Extra Old Café, by Lisa Anselmo

This local favorite as been closed since October due to Covid restrictions, eerily paused in time, dust collecting on the underside of chairs. For now, it awaits for the flow of customers to set time in motion again.

Holiday Cheer Served Hot, by Lisa Anselmo

Takeaway Cheer, by Lisa Anselmo

Cafés, restaurants, and bars are closed until further notice due to a surge in Covid-19 cases in France, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still do takeaway. Many have created warm and festive pass-through areas, and offer both food and beverages, some even have holiday mulled wine (vin chaud).

Outside Looking In, by Lisa Anselmo

Cafés, restaurants, and bars are closed again in France, as a new confinement was ordered after a second wave of Covid-19 took over the country. This café near Père Lachaise Cemetery was taking advantage of the shutdown to do some upgrades. “I hope it’s not for nothing,” the owner told me. “I hope we can invite you again soon.” We hope so, too.

Closing Time, by Richard Nahem

Seen in the Marais. Chairs stacked at the end of the day. Cafés and bars have been shut due to a strong second wave of Covid cases in Paris, but many, which have a “restaurant” classification, are allowed to stay open. This one is among those lucky ones, just closing for the night.

A Place to Lounge, by Lisa Anselmo

We’re really captivated by the terraces of Paris this summer. Cafés are using their imagination to make the most of their extended outdoor space, and that helps us make the most of the lazy days of summer.

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?

Waiting Tables, by Richard Nahem

These tables would normally be much tighter, with two seats side-by-side, facing out. But this is the new normal. Not everyone gets a view, but everyone can enjoy the terrace. Seen in the Marais.

Before & (Happily Ever) After, by Lisa Anselmo

Colorful “happy hours” signage, captured during confinement. Today, this terrace is filled with customers once again, making these truly happy hours en terrasse. We take these hand-lettered signs for granted, but they add so much to the café experience. In a Café Photo of the Week first, we offer a bonus image of the same terrace, taken from a post-confinement perspective. Before and (happily ever) after.

Spreading Out, by Richard Nahem

Since, Tuesday, June 2, cafés in Paris were allowed to open again, but only terrace service. So what to do? Take up as much terrace as the law allows: sidewalks, parking spots, down the street, and even in the street. We’re okay with that.

Nous Sommes en Terrasse (Once Again),
by Lisa Anselmo

Tuesday, June 2, marked the day when we could once again sit on our beloved café terraces here in Paris. Your favorite Editor-in-Chief made a beeline to my HQ and had un verre de vin to celebrate, but I visited many others, including Au Cadran Voltaire on Place Leon Blum, where I shot this photo of their terrace after the lunch hour. Paris feels alive again.

Drinks on the Go, by Lisa Anselmo

L’Escale on Ile St. Louis is doing takeaway beverages and nibbles. Pop over and support them if you are in Paris, and enjoy un petit café while you relax on the quay overlooking the Seine.

Support your local restaurants. Contact them directly for takeout or delivery because they earn more than if you use third-party apps like Uber Eats or Deliveroo (France).

Café Memories, by Joann Dufau Slater

This photo was taken a few years ago, while the photographer was staying in the Marais. It’s had a makeover since, but still a local favorite, situated on the beautiful Parc Royal.

Du Marché, by Joan Mikkelsen

This café on the corner of Rue de Seine and Rue de Buci is always packed with locals and tourists alike, and it’s favorite of the photographer as well. (Our editor-in-chief also has some fond memories of this charming, popular place.) It can be pricey given its location in the chic Saint-Germain-des-Près neighborhood, but the staff is friendly and welcoming. We hope we can sit on its sunny terrace soon again.

La Poule au Pot, by Nicola Clark

This hauntingly beautiful image was shot through the window of La Poule au Pot, closed like all cafés since mid-March due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This café has all the classic details right down to the zinc-top bar. We love it.
