I got to spend time last year in the 13th arrondissement in Paris. I was really surprised that almost everyone on the street, as in conversations around me, discussions between young people, the language used at shops and restaurants, was not French or Cantonese or Vietnamese, but Teochew: my native language.

Turns out it’s a large Vietnamese and Khmer Teochew stronghold: and Teochew is alive and well. It’s also a bánh mì hotspot:

Anne Hidalgo: "Cars Will Not Return To the Eiffel Tower" after the Olympic Games.

"The Trocadéro will be greened and the Pont d'Iéna pedestrianized, up to the Champ de Mars, which will be reforested. The whole thing will form a large park in the heart of Paris."

Paris: Anne Hidalgo promet que "les voitures ne reviendront pas devant la Tour Eiffel" après les JO

L'élue socialiste prévoit de végétaliser le Trocadéro et de piétonniser le pont d'Iéna pour former "un grand parc" au cœur de la capitale.

"...the city of Paris has made enormous investments in public transit, built hundreds of miles of bike paths, and closed many streets to cars. Car trips within the city dropped by almost sixty per cent between 2001 and 2018, car crashes dropped by thirty per cent, and pollution has improved. The city is quieter and calmer; test scores go up as the air around schools cleans up."
