All public transport into Paris is virtually non-existent, with very few buses, rare taxis and the only two metro lines operating at limited times. Apart from the extreme walking, the upside is that the city is probably less touristy than usual.
Daily life in Paris was hardly affected too much, people were polite and gentle in most places I went, the food was great as expected with the cost not too high compared to other European countries. During the 5 days in Paris, in addition to famous landmarks such as the Louvre Museum, Concorde Square or the legendary Champs-Elysees Avenue, we also spent a lot of time walking along the romantic Seine River, strolling on ancient bridges, admiring the ancient buildings on both sides...
The artist on Montmartre hill
I arrived at Montmartre at a beautiful sunset, and was greeted by a bass-like voice singing "Hello" to the strumming of an acoustic guitar.

Hello a stranger
This bus is a rare public transport in Paris in the late afternoon, the unfamiliar woman raised her hand to greet me through the window when she saw me taking pictures. A warm image in the gloomy days of the strike in Paris.

Sunbathing

Kiss
Parisians seem to regret that the Pont des Arts love lock bridge was recently demolished (because too many locks were dangerous), but in Paris, several smaller bridges with moderate numbers of locks have appeared for couples to express their desire for eternal love.
Christmas Fair
The Tuileries Garden Christmas Market is considered the largest market in Paris. It is a beautiful garden located next to the romantic Seine River, attracting many tourists and French people during the Christmas season.
