Nothing during the 11-week coronavirus lockdown could replace the ritual: a table in the sun on which rests a tiny cup of black coffee. Cafes throughout France were allowed to reopen, but in Paris, cafes were still not allowed to serve customers inside. Instead, the outdoor terraces were open, and tables had to be 1 meter apart.
Parisians could once again sit down with one another, albeit separately. They could be in the same space together without having to talk to one another, which is ideal for French people.
Parisians are used to treating cafes as an extended living space. “It’s my second living room,” said one café customer.

在巴黎左岸的的咖啡館，坐在街道邊看人、讀書，啜飲一口醇香的咖啡，這是巴黎人最喜歡做得事情之一。不過，巴黎成為新冠肺炎的重災區，全城封鎖也讓咖啡館暫停營業。在疫情趨緩後，巴黎咖啡館終於重新開張，但有一些前提：不開放室內座位、座位之間需要隔著一公尺。
這對於巴黎人來說也不算太困難，很多人本來就不喜歡和陌生人說話，也喜歡獨自享受咖啡。社交疏離讓這一切都更理所當然了，巴黎人也安之若素。
對很多人巴黎人來說，咖啡館就像是第二個客廳一樣，「我不在咖啡館，就在前往咖啡館的路上」，可以說是巴黎人最好的寫照。
