Weekend Links Week 20 is a bit more serious following the horrible beheading of French teacher Samuel Paty. Although I like keeping this series generally light, I think it’s important to include. There are still plenty of lighter articles, including a tour of an American couple’s dreamy Parisian pied-a-terre, the details on a bicycling route from Paris to Normandy, and a review on a new book about Louis XIV.
