This the terrace of Le Grand Véfour , a famous and historically significant restaurant in the Palais-Royal. This picture was taken outside of meal services, so the tables are unset and unoccupied.

The restaurant was established in 1784, thus predating the French Revolution. It was founded by Antoine Aubertot, and was later bought by Jean Véfour. Today it belongs to the Taittinger Group . It used to have three Michelin stars, but does not at the time of this writing. It was once very popular with hoi polloi of Paris, and it still attracts some famous patrons.
