They were to last only a time and were free. They will ultimately be perpetuated, and become chargeable. In a report submitted this Wednesday to the vote of the municipal council, the town hall of Marseille intends to introduce a fee for restaurateurs and cafetiers who would like to keep their ephemeral terraces, currently installed in the parking spaces of the Marseille city.
Restaurant owners and cafeterias who have chosen to perpetuate their terrace will have to pay a sum ranging from 1,800 to 2,000 euros per year. “About 10% of them wanted to perpetuate this device”, indicates to 20 minutes Roland Cazzola, delegated councilor for public space.
