Weekend Links: Week Nine

Weekend Links Week Nine breaks my record for the number of articles – there are 47 this week. You won’t want to miss Air France’s new safety video that will bring you to Paris, Versailles, the South of France and more as well as colorized 4k footage from Paris in the 1920s. I recommend settling in with a cup of coffee or even a glass of wine and enjoying!
