Sidewalk Cafes in Paris!

Between all the sightseeing, one must take an hour or two to chat with a friend or stranger or just people watch while sipping an espresso at the sidewalk cafes.  I noticed that at many of the cafes, the chairs all face out toward the streets. I think we should all learn from Paris's favorite pastime - to stop for a moment to sit and enjoy an espresso, enjoy some good company, and enjoy life.
