As we all come out blinking in the sunshine, there is a new programme to welcome us all to café terraces, enlarged and some offering tastings of local rosés to celebrate.
It is being held all across la Region Sud: https://www.maregionsud.fr/la-fete-des-terrasses
In Aix, where the size and opening hours of cafés are usually very carefully controlled, the mayor has authorised these unusual measures:
- Cafés can extend their terraces sideways when adjoining businesses are closed (evenings, Sundays for instance)
- They can extend outwards if there is space, after 11am or 14:30 on market days
- They can stay open until 2am, instead of closing at 1am.
I read that these measures are authorised until the end of the year and will hopefully accelerate business for cafés and restaurants which have been so badly hit by weeks of closure.
