Thank you so much for this!! Hoping against hope to get back to France this summer, and I had been looking for new things to do in Paris (that art collection, oh my!) and deciding on which beach to visit. Getting my first vaccine dose tomorrow, so fingers and toes all crossed.
I hope you’ll be back soon! ❤️
