Paris Outside

Yesterday Paris opened. Yesterday all Parisians ate on a TERRASSE.

So many restaurants found space on the pavement for tables.

Eataly now has an active patio in back.

L'Orangerie on Ile Saint-Louis set up tables and a take-away bar.

Some small restaurants set up tables across the street on alleyways.

Shops moved their merch onto the street like Au Nom de la Rose.

Fancy fruit stands loaded with Spring produce spill onto the street

Even the flower MARCHE AUX FLEURS was open.

The bouquinistes opened.

The pigeons have never stopped eating outside or on my tiny bit of roof.

ICE CREAM CHARIOTS appeared everywhere in a flash.

On Sunday Berthillon was mobbed like old times. It was so hot coming home yesterday I dropped my mask and indulged in a coffee cone. I ended up going to PICARD for a bag of glacons (ice cubes) clutching it to my chest to cool down on the walk home. Yesterday in the US was not such a good day. My heartfelt thoughts are with you ❤️
