Yesterday was the day when the
French region of Beaujolais released its young Gamay wines, traditionally drunk almost immediately after the harvest. But with confinement restrictions still in place, instead of revelers spilling outside wine bars and cafés, more at-home toastings and tastings than usual were held to ring in this year's Beaujolais Nouveau. - BPJ

Some of the best views of the Basilica of Sacré Coeur are from a small park just behind it.

Rule of 6
An apéro evening in early September when hopes were high that this would be over by now.
***
Many have been asking whether not adhering to the government "Rule of 6" carries with it a fine. Here's the rule in time for Friday night... keeping in mind that this is for the safety and health of everyone:
Covid-19 : pas plus de six personnes “à table ou dans la rue... une recommandation plutôt qu'une obligation"
Covid-19: no more than six persons "at table or in the street... a recommendation more than an obligation" - BPJ
