The new Parisians
What is more Parisian than having a cup of coffee or a drink watching the passers by? At any other time I came to Paris, cafés were full, barely a spare seat. But this is 2021. The cafes are half empty even on a late Sunday morning, and the customers seem to have changed ….Despite the negative aspects of the situation it is hard not to smile looking at these huge teddy bears, therefore on the last day of the trip, I could not resist a ‘bear hunt’ in the Gobelin area.
Paris of 2021, with its Notre Dame covered by scaffolding, its Arc de Triomphe wrapped ( more about that in the next post) and the huge Teddy Bears is so symbolic of the changes we experience all around us. Makes you wonder if it will ever go back to being the city it used to be a mere 2 years ago.
