Stephen Colbert has never been democratically elected (at least not yet), but he’s been the kind of leader that democracy badly needs in order for it to survive.

Integrity, compassion, fearlessness, intelligence, wit, humour, wisdom, honesty, morality, persuasiveness, kindness, humility, honour.

Paris cycling numbers double in one year thanks to massive investment and it's not stopping The report delves into the nuances of Parisian cycling culture, exploring the vibrant community of riders who navigate the city's streets

Paris urban biking DOUBLED in just one year.

France, Spain, others agree to tax premium flyers, private jets A group of countries including France, Kenya, Spain and Barbados pledged on Monday to tax premium-class flying and private jets in a bid to raise funds for climate action and sustainable development.

Flying business class and #privatejet is a luxury… and it’s currently hugely undertaxed. That could be about to change.

Yesterday a coalition of countries pledged to tax premium flyers to redirect revenues to fund climate action. Will COP 30 manage to turn this into a real proposal?

Can You Wear Shorts in Paris? "Can you wear shorts in Paris?" I get asked this question a lot. Especially since summers have been getting hotter each year in Paris, and fashion has evolved considerably since Covid. The short answe...

Since #Paris has been hitting record temperatures again this month, with at least 10 days over 35°C/95°F so far, the perennial question asked by visitors has resurfaced: Can you wear shorts in Paris? Yes you can! (with a few logical exceptions).

Exactly. After all, there are plenty of rich business owners in France, but we still have affordable healthcare and schools.

Schools are underfunded

Hi Friends, when you interact with these posts, it helps more people see them, especially the folks who’ve been waiting for their city.

“To reduce the road deaths toll, we need to tackle ‘Car Brain.’

Any perceived inconvenience ignites ‘Car Brain’ as we justify our right to behave in a manner that would not be tolerated in any other aspect of urban living.”

Omg, I thought I was the only one wondering if I needed to call the police for the blood curdling screams coming from the elementary school playground next door to me. 😬.

France's parade has been an annual célébration of the people overthrowing a tyrannical monarchy dating back to 1790. The French presidents know who's in charge in their country. 😉
