Happy Weekend to all! I’m excited to be spending it with Dalton again – exploring during the day and making sure to be home before the 6PM curfew. As of last Friday there are a few new restrictions in France, which I included a few articles on. Other favorites include photos from a Parisian City Hall wedding, details on the Eiffel Tower’s upcoming makeover, stunning photos of the Chanel-designed costumes for the Paris Opera Ballet’s opening gala and more.
