Abstract: We describe a notion of (abstract) projective line over a field as a set equipped with a certain first order structure, and a projectivity between projective lines as a bijection preserving this structure. The structure in question is that of a groupoid, with certain properties. This leads to a natural notion of bundle of projective lines, forming a stack.
