We just about made it back from France before the whole quarantine thing kicked in.
Traveling with a mask felt kind of surreal. A bit like living life in a third-rate disaster movie. Paris was delightful and shopping without crowds has an upside.
What I particularly enjoyed was getting out of Paris and the Château stay. Probably because everything was spacious and oversized making social distancing a bit more manageable. The chateau interior was divine, and really very comfortable. The food was just as exquisite as ever, but the atmosphere was different.
It is now abundantly clear to us all that the world is changing. Things are not going to be back to ‘normal’ but normal will shift to become the new reality.
Would I recommend a trip? It’s very hard to say, but it very much depends on individual circumstances. What is for sure: adapt to change, wear a mask, and wash hands well and fairly often.
back to work now and back to the dressing room.

A lot of things have changed-Paris without tourists,as well as your other destination,must have been nice,but…..
I did travel as well,by car,to my seaside apartment, before the numbers started to rise up,a lot more than in spring,when we were more safe than today. I’m home now,it was the first summer in my life that I was counting days to go home. I’ve visited a couple of best restaurants,but simply didn’t enjoy it as before
Masks are compulsory inside stores,markets,restaurants etc,but a lot of people,native or tourists, don’t wear them (or not properly)
I have no problem with wearing masks,even outside, if there are a lot of people around me,I’ve used to wear mask when I worked and,sincerely , don’t feel good around people who don’t wear them now (some waiters in cafes,auto mechanics….)
Stay safe,

Hey, so nice to hear from you! I don’t feel comfortable either near people without masks and don’t understand why some refuse to wear them. Have you travelled by train or plane?
