“In the old parts of Nice, the family tables are out in the cobbled streets so that you can't drive past. They insist you join them at midnight on a hot July evening. So that's just what you do, abandoning the car.”

Meaning

This reads as a small scene about hospitality as a social rule. The description points to a place where public space is claimed by people rather than cars, and where being invited in is not optional so much as part of the local rhythm. It lands in any setting where formality drops away and a stranger is folded into the life of a neighborhood.
