Frenchie Friday - Sept 6, 2024

It's la rentrée in France! A special time of year that marks the return to school and work after the summer holidays. It's a bustling period filled with excitement and anticipation. As the city awakens from its summer slumber, the streets are filled with the sounds of people returning to their daily routines. Students, teachers, and professionals alike prepare for a new year, filled with opportunities and challenges. It's a time of fresh starts, new beginnings, and renewed energy for the entire nation.

This week, Paris finds itself in the spotlight with the ongoing debate over the Olympic rings gracing the Eiffel Tower year-round. At the same time, Paris prepares for the closing of the Paraplegic Olympics games, a significant chapter in the city’s sporting legacy.

And now, it will be an excellent time to visit!
