Uptown Paris Girl

After months of hibernation restricted to 1-hour walks in a 1-kilometer radius

I flew the coup a week ago and went uptown.

Rue de Rivoli is mainly bikes and taxis these days.

The weekend metro was nearly empty.  Masks provided along with hand sanitiser 👏👏👏

My uptown objective = self-stick stamps. The only place in tout Paris is CARRE D'ENCRE near Printemps.

Restaurants are closed but many offer take-away. On rue Cambon Pierre Hermé macarons was open. The sign said, "3 allowed inside" There was 1 customer and 1 server. I was told to wait. My math has never been good. I carried on.

FYI Uptown French girls will be wearing granny nightgowns with Doc Martins and Kaki jackets this summer. Do you follow BERNADETTE BANNER? AN Edwardian fashion historian who can help you DIY your own granny gown. Or simply charm the bloomers off you with her amusing banter.

Downtown Parisians are mostly behaving themselves in un-lockdown with social distancing most of the time🤞🏼🤞🏼
