Paris - the world for that matter - is just too unsettled to be visiting at this moment.
Two Air France flights were diverted in US air the other day for bomb scares; yesterday a flight from Paris to San Francisco made a U-turn over the English channel and landed safely back at Charles De Gaulle airport. The word was that ALL US-bound flights were cancelled by Air France for that day.
We're ticketed on Air France.
As much as I love France, I don't want to live there right now - we'd miss our cats and the bird. Perhaps in February - the tix are good until March, 2o16.
