The environs of Paris have been inhabited since 10000 BN ie Before Now.
The banks of the Seine have provided life to the last of the Neanderthals, the Cro-magnons, the Celts, the Romans, the Franks, and then for the French.
After conquering northern France Adolph Hitler's army declared a curfew and the City Of Light was dark from 9PM in the evening until 5AM.
No curfew was declared during the 1968 Uprising.
THe Mitterand government hadn't needed to enforce a couvre-feu in the early-1980s.
No one had money.
Les Citoyen stayed at home after dark, but not us.
At night the city belonged to my friends and me.
