With US Off EU's COVID Safe List, Parisians Miss Popular Visitors

Lisa Bryant

   PARIS - Paris-based author and travel guide Rosemary Flannery has lived
   through the highs and lows of the tourist business here, buffeted by
   terrorist attacks, yellow vest protests -- and now the coronavirus.

   "It was a big shock to find out in March that everything was
   cancelled," Flannery said of travel bans issued on both sides of the
   Atlantic, as the numbers of coronavirus cases began shooting up.

   For Flannery, a native New Yorker who has added on French nationality,
   it has meant that a mainstay of her walking tours and museum visits has
   vanished: Americans.
