It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since “normal.” I’m honestly trying not to think about it too much, because in France I don’t feel like the light at the end of the tunnel is as bright as it is in the US. Weekend Links Week Eleven features articles about the current situation in France, as well as fun clips of the Chanel show, candidates for France’s favorite village in 2021, how to smell like Picasso, and several tours of gorgeous Parisian spaces.
