«Pas de places pour le Louvre ni la tour Eiffel» : les touristes étrangers de retour à Paris

My name is Alina. I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. I haven't been traveling for about three years. It's been about a year since I traveled from COVID, after COVID. So how do you feel traveling again? A little bit nervous, but I have my mask and we're all vaccinated and we have our boosters. Yeah! No. Yeah! I would have come sooner if we weren't stuck in the pandemic, but this was the first time we were actually able to come. So first of many trips. How is it to travel again regularly as a normal life? It's amazing. I love, I put on my mask. I feel safe. I'm vaccinated, boostered, everything. So it's a must. It's a must for traveling and I feel very safe doing it now. At first there was no one traveling at all, but then they did open things up a little while after. We just chose to stay a little longer just in case COVID gets bad again, which it did. But now it's hopefully better and staying better and everyone's vaccinated. We can keep traveling. My name is Mary Ann. I'm from Ohio in the United States. We started planning this trip in 2019. We were supposed to leave in 2020 and of course that didn't happen. And thinking that we weren't going to come was just heartbreaking. But here we are and it's gorgeous. We tried three days ago to buy tickets to come to the Louvre, but there's no tickets for the whole week we are here. There's no tickets available. And the Eiffel Tower the same. Eiffel Tower is full. The streets are crowded. McDonald's is crowded. It took 30 minutes yesterday to get McDonald's. So yeah, it's very busy.
