We will miss you... Parisian spring is cancelled!

The weather was too beautiful for the Parisians to resist! Every year like clockwork, as soon as the first spring weekend hits, the residents are out in hordes. This Sunday was a little more contained than usual, but nevertheless by the afternoon hours people were picnicking along the Seine, strolling through the parcs and walking down the avenues past closed shops and bistros snapping pictures of the beauty around them....

...because Paris is beautiful in the springtime.

Yesterday, Parisians did not stay at home despite government recommendations announcing the closure of "places not essential to the life of the country" calling the French to "limit their travel" while the country officially passed the stadium 3 of the coronavirus epidemic.

Stay tuned for more directions from the government for they are not happy with their nations "insouciance".

So sadly, it looks like we will be missing our Parisian spring completely this year!?!

A splendid Bir Hakeim bridge 

First time EVER I have not spotted a newly-wed couple taking pictures on this bridge! 

Spring is in the air...

...and the water levels being a bit high

Avoiding the metro

A touch of pink always lifts my spirits

Sadly, no sipping coffee on the terrace while soaking in those sun rays today!
