FRANCE - HEALTH - VIRUS - CULTURE - RESTAURANTS
A waiter serves customers as they sit on a cafe terrace in Perpignan, south-western France on May 19, 2021, as cafes, restaurants and other businesses re-opened across France after closures during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. Patrons have made their way back to cafes and prepared long-awaited visits to cinemas and museums as France loosened restrictions in a return to semi-normality after over six months of Covid-19 curbs. Cafes and restaurants with terraces or rooftop gardens can now offer outdoor dining, under the second phase of a lockdown-lifting plan that should culminate in a full reopening of the economy on June 30.
