is a once-the-sun-is-shinning sport. A sunny weekend get lots of Parisian outside glazing their leather at the café terraces. The truth is you can understand that behavior only when you live in Paris and you crave for some sun all year long.

Most cafés have not got the place to set up a terrace. They feel free to use the sidewalk (yes) to do so, 2′ away from traffic and amid strollers.

In that mood, I found out at Montparnasse what looked the most amazing place to sit down and enjoy.

Parisian fellows, I know you know what I mean: 2 tables in what seems a corner. 6′ far from other’s tables. Got privatized by barriers.

Conveniently located at the Northeastern corner of Montparnasse crossing streets.

Dream over. The barriers are of the underground. The corner is actually the sidewalk. And traffic is 6′ away. The place got privatized for yourself … and fellow strollers around.

Isn’t it the biggest dream terrace fraud? I sipped my espresso from the red chair just there at left!
