Pollution in Paris

We are having lovely spring weather.  Only problem is that the pollution is so bad that we are not sure we should be outside.  Due to the pollution, public transportation is free.  Gross.

Deux photos de la tour Eiffel placées côte à côte montrent l'impact du pic de pollution sur la capitale..

Comparatif de l'atmosphère parisienne, le 13 mars 2014 et le 10 mars 2010
The first photo is from 2010 and the second is from this past Thursday.  This is the first time that we have experienced pollution this bad here.  The warm days combined with the cooler nights, and no wind is said to be the culprit.
