Gaîté translates as joyfulness, gaiety, cheerfulness, playfulness... If you were standing with VDP looking at
à la gaîté café, you'd have Notre-Dame covered market behind you and the
antiques district to your right! This sign tells us that there have been food and drink here for a long time!
Si vous étiez avec VDP au moment où ces photos du
café à la gaîté ont été prises, vous auriez les halles Notre-Dame derrière vous et le
quartier des antiquaires, dit de la geôle, à votre droite. Ce panneau nous indique que la maison a depuis longtemps été un lieu de libations !

l'enseigne est magnifique et je connaissais pas ce terme de "libations" (mais merci internet)
I'm ready to go eat now!!
I'm up for some gaite! (Don't know how to do the accents. ;-)) )
I could use with some gaiety at the moment!! Neat cafe'
Nothing wrong with a little gaiety. Come to think of it, nothing wrong with a lot of gaiety.
Send some gaiety this way - it'll brighten any dreary winter!:) Lovely place, would enjoy poking around antiques nearby too.
Makes me thing of Gaîté Parisienne. Not enough room for a can-can.
It's a beautiful location!
Looks like a nice place.
Une merveilleuse enseigne. J'espère qu'après les libations le gîte est offert!
What a great, I presume hand-carved, sign !
les libations continuent !
Ah, a perfect place for a beverage... or two.
the sign conveys the meaning well!
Cafe, markets and antiques.. Oh la! Sounds like the perfect threesome :)
It appears to be a delightful little place and so much nicer than all the chain cafes and restaurants we have in this country. Unique is sometimes good in and of itself. I would think, though, you French folks are more hardy than I, sitting outside in the winter to eat and drink! :)
I am feeling happier just looking at it! Have you tried this place before? I bet it's nice in spring/summer.
To sit outside in February they must be cheerful and optimistic...
Eat, drink and be merry---that says it all. MB
Looks very enjoyable and I like the bits of bright color.

I'll be there as soon as I can!
Sounds like we would be in the perfect place.
