Paris guide Jean-Remi Galinon is unable to show off Paris to tourists in his Citroen 2CV car as French borders are still closed to some countries
PARIS - There’s nothing Jean-Remi Galinon enjoys more than bouncing along cobbled streets and showing off Paris to foreign tourists, usually Americans, in his most iconic of French vintage cars.
France is from Wednesday tentatively opening up its borders to a select group of non-EU countries, but the United States, where COVID-19 cases are still soaring, is not on the list. “It was just surreal,” Galinon said. “March, April, May are an important period for us. And even more so as the weather was beautiful. So it was a double punishment.. Paris without tourists is not really Paris.”
