Ir's snowing in Paris. This is not a drill. Don't count on any kind of transport working properly today and beware of those who drive.
Parisians don't know how to deal with the white stuff.

We got in! There was a long queue but it moved rwally fast. Only 20 minutes and we were inside Notre Dame de Paris, 3 months after reopening, almost 6 years after the fire. And over 8 years since I was last inside.

This is the closest we come to having a skyscraper in town (typical Haussmann buildings for scale). I'm glad someone said stop before they built more.

DH wanted to see the helicopters land this #BastilleDay🇨🇵, not take off at the end of the afternoon. So we skipped the parade on tv and came straight to Invalides. Impressive. 🚁
I'd still like to fly in a (civil) helicopter once. At the #TourDeFrance would be cool.

My toes are frozen but we had a great time at the match. The atmosphere was amazing, and the home team won. 🇨🇵
I've never heard a national anthem that often in 80 minutes.

I should have known when there was riot police in hall 4.
This is the conference space on top of the Fisheries France stall at the #CowFair, and the guy sitting next to the lady in red is the French president.
At least no one screams insults like they did last year.

Upper part of a stall at the Paris Agricultural Fair with a conference space. There are chairs, the people sitting in them are mostly hidden from view, but you can see the back and head of President Macron and his wife.
