(Photo by Thierry Orban/Getty Images) Thierry Orban—Getty Images by [Samantha Grossman](https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/) ## Samantha Grossman Nov 16, 2015 9:24 PM UTC In the wake of Friday’s deadly[ terrorist attacks](http://time.com/4112277/shootings-explosion-reported-in-paris/), Parisians are taking to social media to make one thing clear: they’re not going to stop living their lives and enjoying their city. The hashtag [#JeSuisEnTerrasse ](https://twitter.com/search?vertical=default&q=%23JeSuisEnTerrasse&src=typd)literally translates to “I’m out on a terrace”—but the message it’s really conveying is “I’m outside enjoying the city.” Parisians are using it to post pictures of themselves out in the city’s cafes and restaurants and to encourage others to do the same. Many Parisians also don’t want to walk down familiar streets and see deserted terraces that are usually bustling. They want to show that life goes on. > [](https://twitter.com/Phbargman/status/666295393853046784) > [](https://twitter.com/amoyelm/status/666028872216018944) > [](https://twitter.com/breakychou/status/666353040534958080) > [](https://twitter.com/Jasoon95/status/666358058638024704) _Read next:_ [_Parisians Use #PorteOuverte Hashtag for Those Seeking Safety From Attacks_](http://time.com/4112428/paris-shootings-porte-ouverte/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4115103/paris-attacks-je-suis-en-terrasse-hashtag/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4115103/paris-attacks-je-suis-en-terrasse-hashtag/"},"headline":"Parisians Take to Social Media to Continue Celebrating Life","datePublished":"2015-11-16T21:24:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:56.148Z","description":"Using the hashtag #JeSuisEnTerrasse","url":"https://time.com/4115103/paris-attacks-je-suis-en-terrasse-hashtag/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdbea8e953ce4d66c/69887165a988ca4cfb6b5534/paris-terrace.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdbea8e953ce4d66c/69887165a988ca4cfb6b5534/paris-terrace.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"PARIS, FRANCE - NOVEMBER 15: Parisians sitting on the terraces of bars as usual on Sunday in Place de la Bastille on November 15, 2015 in Paris, France.
