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!
