Air Tahiti just cancelled our mid june flight LAX-CDG.
We can still rebook with AF but am beginning to wonder if this an omen.
So again, what do you think Paris will be like mid June? Will everyone be wearing a mask?
Will the restaurants/stores be "en pleine forme"?

As we all know, this outlook may change depending on the number of Covid cases in Paris. Vaccination is speeding up (+500k doses per day delivered in France on a weekly average) but this virus is particularly cumbersome.

Most likely in mid-June everyone will be still wearing a mask and there will be a curfew at 11pm as per government policy. Stores and restaurants shall be open by then - for restaurants, not only outside but also inside.

I think my friend is right .
Do you agree?
C’est effectivement un peu tôt pour venir ŕ Paris en juin, la vie culturelle et gastronomique n’aura pas encore repris. Et une bonne partie des chefs et directeurs de restaurants préfčrent ouvrir en septembre car il n’y aura pas de touristes cet été et beaucoup de parisiens vont partir en vacances, aprčs ces mois de confinement.
So, I would favor a visit in September…
Cheers

Disney just announced that they are opening June 17th. Hopefully, things are looking better. However, it's still not clear exactly what type of vaccine verification will be accepted by the French government, particularly important for third country nationals.

I would also assume that any vaccine travel bubble would in first instance involve the vaccine brands authorised in the EU, i.e. Pfizer, Moderna, Janssen and AstraZeneca. Good for US-Americans, Britons and Israelis, not so good for Chinese, Russians or Latin Americans.

Just to put a bow on this thread, tourism is back with a vengeance. And it brought a lot of Emily's with it.
Hotels are sold out in most of the higher end places. Restaurants are packed. And all over town I have seen young women dressed very nicely, with immaculate hair and makeup taking selfies and filming themselves.
But the best was a woman at my hotel, a very nice hotel, wearing a sexy black Valentino dress, heels, upswept hair with super red lips, filming herself....AT BREAKFAST!

If only we still had no tourists. It was wonderful and took me back at least 15-20 years when we could visit places without being trampled.
Ha ha the thought of women wearing heels in the streets of Paris during the day! Is their goal to be crippled for life?
