Postcard from Paris

We’re headed back to New York after a wonderful trip to Paris. We went to the Louvre, the Pompidou Centre and the Army Museum. We explored many neighborhoods and ate good food. Most important, we had great family time.

And even though our trip was in the middle of a pandemic — France is experiencing a new surge of the Delta variant — we felt reasonably safe because you needed “le pass sanitaire” to get in anywhere.

So while the headlines show that 235,000 took to the Paris streets to protest the vaccine requirement last weekend, the untold story is that many more than that are getting vaccinated every day so that they can enjoy their favorite bistro or take public transportation. It seems like a pretty good policy.

For members, I’ll put up some pictures and observations from our trip in The Cloakroom over the next few days.
