Morning light spills across Montmartre, touching the yellow awning of Au Petit Montmartre and the neat rows of empty chairs waiting for the day to begin. In a few hours, these tables will hold steaming cups and newspapers, conversations will start and drift, lovers who have just visited the nearby Le mur des je t’aime and solitary readers will find a little theatre of their own. The terrace is the city’s small, generous stage, open to anyone who wants a seat. For a moment, as the first customers are only just arriving, the scene feels like a promise, that time will slow here, if you let it.
“Thursday in Paris — Terraces of Montmartre”
Part of the “Terraces of Paris” Series
Every Thursday, we take a virtual seat on Paris’s terraces — small, open-air stages where the city shows itself at ease.
