An outdoor, eye-level photograph depicts the facade of "La Mère Catherine," a historic restaurant located in Place du Tertre, Montmartre, Paris, France, under a clear, bright blue sky. The multi-story building features light-colored stucco or painted walls. A prominent red sign with white text reading "LA MERE CATHERINE" is affixed to the main gabled section of the facade. Smaller red signs bearing the same name are visible above several windows. Below the large sign, numerous green plants and a few yellow and red flowers are arranged in rectangular planters along the building's second level. A large, red and white striped awning extends over the ground floor, providing shade for an outdoor dining area. Below the awning, a sign reads "Ici est né le mot "BISTRO"" (Here the word "BISTRO" was born) with "Le 1er en 1814" (The 1st in 1814), indicating the restaurant's historical claim. Multiple individuals are partially visible at the lower left and right, and within the shaded area under the awning, some appearing to be seated patrons at tables. A white menu stand and a dark chalkboard are present on the sidewalk beneath the awning. To the upper right, green tree foliage is visible, and parts of adjacent buildings are seen on the left and right sides of the main structure. The overall scene suggests a daytime setting with fair weather.
