Paris in July begins today

A New Month of Paris Memories

Paris in July is a blogging event that’s been going for over 15 years. It’s currently hosted by Emma: https://wordsandpeace.com/2026/06/23/parisinjuly2026-all-the-links/ and so far at least eight bloggers have put themselves on the list of participants. This is my first Paris in July post, which is taken from a posts in the past. It’s been a couple of years since my last trip to Paris.
