The only one which resists...
Paris 12ème,quartier Montgallet , les petits commerces et bistrots ont été remplacés par les magasins d'informatique ,vitrines couvertes d'affiches indiquant les arrivages et les prix . L'Alchimiste est toujours là , avec une carte magnifique ...!
Paris 12tht, district Montgallet, the small businesses and bars were replaced by the stores of computing, shop windows covered with posters indicating thearrivals and prizes. L'Alchimiste is still alive ...!

une boutique comme il n'en existe plus guère, pleine de couleurs et au cachet ancien.

I guess people now sit home at their computers drinking instead of in these places?

EYES WIDE SHUT from United Kingdom
So sad that a cultural pasttime almost Europe wide is dying away. It is the same in the UK where so many pubs are closing down, and we become a nation of home drinkers, due to costs and the global meltdown. A sobering post today, Marie-Helene (no pun intended)

Such a beautiful shot, looks a lovely quaint restaurant, a shame places like this are slowly disappearing everywhere, times have sure changed

très nostalgique, le monde change vite et les photos sont parfois les dernières traces, les derniers témoignages d'une civilisation qui change à toute allure.
Quand j'étais tout petit, il y avait cette affiche à l'entrée de pas mal d'estaminets: "ici on peut amener son picnic".

Observing from North West, United Kingdom
It still looks original, but belongs to a different era. A record to keep.
