Paris Café Photos On Instagram

Since the lifting of the Covid-19 restrictions in late June, Paris cafes have been very creative in extending their outdoor seating areas beyond the sidewalks, spilling into the streets, plazas, and other storefronts. They have also decorating the the facades with bunches of fake flowers and vines or sometimes beach toys and big teddy bears. I’ve posted these photos on Facebook and Instagram and I am posting them here.

Here are my Instagram tags.
