80 things to do when the weather’s nice in Paris (despite the curfew)

The sun is back, and with it the aperitifs and bottles of wine on the banks of the Seine, the little dresses and t-shirts, the warmth, the blue sky, the happiness, the sound of children laughing in the parks, strangers smiling alone in the street like idiots, Lunches under the trees, endless walks, flirting… In short, the small pleasures of everyday life, all those things that make life a little nicer when the temperature rises and you find yourself in a good mood as soon as you wake up.
