Here are just a few quick words to give you an idea of the city at this time of the year:

• It’s hot
• It’s muggy
• Offices are empty
• Cars are rare, boulevards are crossed without checking*
• Shops are closed
• Restaurants are closed
• Grocery stores are not as well supplied
• Markets are half the usual size (if not smaller)

You get the picture I believe… People are away on hols! At times, the city feels almost asleep… The sun and heat are certainly not helping :P But well, soon, it’ll be my turn to leave. Mouahahahahahaha…

* Well, why yes, usually I DO look before crossing…At least for boulevards ;)
