We love it when Paris blushes because everyone is looking at it so much and wishing it would just, like, finally go out with them already. A boy can dream...

Oh this thing? Yeah, it's still in Paris. It'll be waiting for you. The new normal is settling in, slowly, but we're feeling hopeful about travel in the coming months. Is anyone out there planning a trip to Paris soon? We'd love to hear from you!

Uh, no, Paris. YOU are a poem. We loved seeing this quirky little installation, which was meant to close this summer, but has been extended through summer 2021! Feeling like a limerick? A haiku maybe? Share one, please!

Remember what it was like to visit a museum in Paris? Well they're gradually coming back! Little by little, Paris is opening up, but patience is still the name of the game for most of you. We'll get there together soon enough!

Paris is waiting for you, don't worry. And with Mayor Anne Hidalgo reflected, it'll be even greener and lovelier to stroll through than ever before!
