It's the return of the terraces!
After six long months of closure, restaurants can reopen them from this Wednesday.
Tables and chairs have flourished on sidewalks, parking lots, courtyards, secret gardens and even on the roofs of buildings.
Restaurant owners have competed in their imagination to share these moments of rediscovered freedom with their customers.
Because the restrictions still remain in place with a gauge of 50% of the reception capacity, tables limited to 6 people maximum and a curfew at only 9 p.m., pending the reopening of the rooms on June 9 and a return to normal on June 30 if there is no new outbreak.
Even if the weather is not very good for the season, discover our new spots now, for a lunch break, an aperitif with friends or a one-to-one dinner on a roof top, at the water's edge, in a museum or in a garden.
