During the month of August, the Paris Kiosque, like the City itself, takes a month off. We'll be back in September.
Paris Libéré!Fourteen years, ago when the internet was still young in the public's eyes, Paris.Org
posted the internet's first pages about the liberation of Paris. These pages have, since the,
become some of the classic web pages about that day. In that context, we repost
our 1994 "Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of Paris" celebrating now the
sixty-second anniversary of that day: 25 August 1944.
Letter From Paris -
Harriet Welty-Rochefort -
You know it because all of a sudden your phone is ringing off the hook with calls from all the people you haven't seen all year long who suddenly decide they MUST see you before they go off for vacation.
You know it because you see English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and American tourists (the ones not terrified by the disastrous exchange rate) in les rues.
You know it because suddenly said rues are overrun with hardhats doing road repairs reserved for the summer months (the lucky Parisians escape ; those who remain in Paris have to contend with dust and drilling).
