In Paris, it seems there are always buildings undergoing restorations. The French go to great links to make the construction process pleasing to the eye. Recently the
Vendôme Column was covered in its likeness. Can you spot the real lantern? I searched the internet to determine if the column was actually having repairs done or whether it was covered due to the work being done on the
Ritz Hotel. The Ritz was scheduled to open this month, since being closed in 2014, but a fire several months ago might have delayed that. I will look to my Parisian friends who are in the know for this tidbit of information.
