The sad fact is that such a thing could happen even in Paris, these days.
I’m more of a Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, various National Parks/ Forests kind of person. I understand that people like to visit such places as cities but I never got why. .
A division director at my former job, and her husband, retired to Paris and bought a “flat”, a lifelong dream of theirs, about 5 years ago. I often wonder if she’s still alive, and if so, how she’s liking Paris, now.
